This is all we'd ever need even if someone wanted to add variables. We
wouldn't need a pimple to take care of variables at all. We'd just need:
// frontends/GUIRuntime.h
struct GUIRuntimeVars;
class GUIRuntime {
...
private:
struct GUIRuntimeVars * vars;
}
and then could define what "struct GUIRuntimeVars" is in the respective
frontends/*/GUIRuntime.C files.
