Sounds good. Here's a few suggestions, for what they're worth:

- Would it be possible/practical to construct this as, say, a plug-in 
component rather than a standalone executable? That way IDEs could 
incorporate it directly, bringing up the BB dialog when the user 
selects 'Save as Applet...'.

- Arranging the window so that 'Advanced' options are initially 
hidden behind one of those disclosure triangle thingies would keep it 
easy to use when folk just want to spit out a generic applet.

- Also, it'd be good to provide 'BBGUI' as a separate module to the 
original BB module so that scripts and applications wanting to use 
BB's programmatic interface aren't made to import unnecessary GUI 
toolkit modules.
