It's not a GUI. In emulator terms, a "front end" is a set of
configuration files describing the CPU to be emulated. The "back end"
is a set of configuration files that describe the CPU on which the
emulator will run. For example, I've already written most of a 68040
front end, most of a PowerPC back end and much of an 80x86 back end.
