I think I'll start by implementing an "output viewer" window. My
first thought is that it should have two panes: on the left, a
tree view with one row per procedure or other command, with each
table or other output item nested as rows within its command; on
the right, the full output so far rendered (with a new
GTK+-specific output renderer) into a scrolling pane. Clicking
on a row in the left pane scrolls the right pane to that output
item; right-clicking on an item in the right pane gives various
options, e.g. "Export", "Copy" for an individual output item.
The window would also have a menu that allows the entire output
to be saved, exported to another format (HTML, PostScript, plain
text to start), cleared, etc.
I think that we can do most of this without rewriting the output
backends. Eventually I want to do that, but I think it's more
important to have something more GUI-friendly working before
then.
