Would it be usefull if an AHK GUI would be a separate module ?
If it would be up to the user to use a plain AHK scripting engine or an advanced AHK with a connected GUI plugin (eg an XML interpreter) ?
A bit like this bambookit ... (if I've understand its concept correctly) ?!
or that UIML
or MyXaml !
Btw: MyXaml software, version 0.93 and above, is 100% GPL (General Public License).
If your software is also 100% GPL compliant, then you have no obligation to pay for the licenses !

Not a poll. Just a thought ...

Thanks for the links. They look interesting and I will read them some more when the time comes.
I'm leaning toward having some basic GUI features built into AHK. When I say basic, I mean the ability to create one or more windows containing edit fields, buttons, checkboxes, comboboxes, and menu bars -- and possibly a few other types of controls. You might think of them as enhanced Progress/SplashImage windows, with a little bit of InputBox thrown in.
When I say basic, I also mean that I expect no more than 10K of additional size for the AutoHotkey.exe file (at least initially).
The feature is intented to design basic forms for user input (much like HTML forms that have a Submit button). It is not intended to be a complete GUI building tool such as Gui4Cli.
The plugins concept is a good one, though I don't think AutoHotkey -- which designed to be simple and self-contained -- is quite ready for that yet.

Maybe take a look at the autobuilder that CyberSlug cyberslug@autoitscript.com made . maybe he could do one for you if you if his could not work for autohotkey .
