It looks like this only supports displaying selection lists and
interacting with users via buffers?  If so, I think we should also
support doing that via GUI dialogs (in Emacs configurations that
support dialogs, which nowadays means almost every build).  This is
what many other applications do, so I think we had better did the
same, at least as an option.

Of course, selections via dialogs not always make sense, so this
should be one of the possible UIs we support, not the only one.

Thanks.
