It's a great idea, but there are complications, mostly that there are 
more than one way to do a lot of things, and a sample app framework is 
going to have only one.

Two good examples of what I'm talking about -- AUI is not right for 
everything, and certainly XRC isn't either -- I far prefer hand written 
Sizer code (often dynamically generated GUIs).

Not that nice AUI+XRC example wouldn't be a great thing.

Yes, it is.
