Actually I don't think that I am the only one wishing that!

The reason I posted earlier about running teXmacs in debug was that I wanted
to investigate what it would take to:

1) modify TeX itself to enable WYSIWYG
2) Steal fon't drawing and misc code from TeXmacs and create a
cross-platform
Qt based WYSIWYG TeX/LateX editor.
3) Get rid of TeXmacs typesetting code and replace it with modified version
of
TeX compiled as a shared object.

The new editor's native file-format would be that of TeX. Meaning that
someone could take a *.tex file and edit it directly instead of doing
conversions.

Yes TeXmacs may run under cygwin, but cygwin is not the answer. Its too
messy
to work with. I would rather have a native windows binary done with either
wxWindows or Qt.
