GSOC 2015: Configuration GUI

[Gedare Bloom]

I just had one comment from reading the code, it lacks any code-level
documentation. Granted it is simple now, but as it grows so should the
doc.

Also, make sure to watch out for when to break out into more
functions/modules. Avoid the pitfall of "one block of code to rule
them all"
