4196	CLI window for MCEdit	psprint		"Hi
The patch implements a simple pipe-based (g_spawn_*) command line window for MCEdit. It is implemented as follows:
- for the container for the output text of entered commands WEdit is extended and used,
- a process (/bin/bash) is being spawned with complete set of 3 pipes for IO,
- the pipes are opened as GIO channels with watching GSources,
- then the glib main loop is being feed from tty_get_event() which is changed to timeout after 200 ms and run the loop iteration then,
- the GSource read/write callbacks are being thus called 5 times per second for a quite smooth update of the WEdit.

Is it a fix or wontfix? I think that such window is nice as it allows to run e.g.: make straight from MCEdit. I know about Ctrl-O however an embedded window provides better experience IMO.
