The GUI revamp requires first cleaning up the existing GUI (ie, moving
``widgets'' like the layer selector into actual widgets rather than the
current hodge-podge of Gtk event code), and that in turn is waiting on
a port to C++.

That port is in the works (a patch exists), but it's waiting on the
established developers to review and push it.

I'm half-working on the nanometers conversion, but schoolwork naturally
takes priority, so I don't have a lot of time. (Plus, my build system is
a bit of a mess right now --- sharing a /home with 5 different computers
running 3 different Linux distributions is not as simple as I'd hoped.)
