        All of the core code could call wrappers instead of system calls.
Basically an OS abstraction layer, and enforce it. Same idea with the GUI,
but I think that's implicit.
        An interesting side-effect to custom GUIs is the integration of
other apps into the GUI is fairly simple. It might be nice to permit them
to talk to the core itself also... =)
