That sounds good. I will get back to
you after I fuel up on some coffee with some pointers on where to start.

I agree with respect to the
round-tripping.  It would be nice, but isn’t what I would call essential.
 Certainly not the kind of thing we should be focusing on right now
when there are so many more important things to do.
 
I could start taking a look
at the summary page stuff part time if you want to get me started.  It
would be nice to start getting TI involved in contributing more actively.

Minus the round-trip part, I wanted to provide a summary page that would
aggregate all the option settings together and display it to the user back
in 1.2. There is even a skeletal "summary" option page ready
to go. The problem of updating the summary page in response to UI events
was a bit more complex than I had time to deal with back then. The complexity
is still there, but I haven't thought about it in a while and it might
not be all that bad with enough time to do the job right. If you guys at
TI are interested in doing this, let me know and maybe I can point you
in the right direction. 

I can state with certainty that round-tripping is going to be virtually
impossible given the current architecture.

Regarding round-trip editing and Visual Studio.  Visual C++ used to
support that, but hasn't since Visual Studio .NET.  I don't know if
they gave it up because they didn't think it was used by many people, or
because it was "too hard".  Visual C++ still does display
the entire command line and has an edit box for "Additional Options".

Regards,
Leo

This is a great idea, especially the round-trip editing which is very 
nice to have.  I believe MS Visual Studio does this as well...
