  The next extension to the current IBuild would probably be the support of
Glyph objects.  Right after that we'd like to investigate how ibuild could
support Unidraw objects.  IBuild is strong in graphical specification of
user interface elements while Unidraw objects tends to be semantic in nature,
so how IBuild can support Unidraw objects remains research for now.
