Dunno, my schedule is pretty tight. But in the meantime I found this  
nasty bug in the gui code, hopefully Tanoku knows how to properly fix  
it ;)...

This is from gui/ThemeParser.cpp, line 138:

    if (_defaultStepLocal == 0)
       _defaultStepLocal = new Graphics::DrawStep(*_defaultStepLocal);

I.e. it clones the DrawStep at location 0... kaboom... Maybe "!=" was  
meant instead of "==", or maybe "*_defaultStepGlobal" instead of  
"*_defaultStepLocal" ?

In theory one could hack this up with some #ifdefs. Of course, it  
wouldn't be much fun to use it, without any GUI way to save/load/quit  
etc. And no visual feedback when saving/loading/changing text speed,  
etc.
