Why fork ? Does Marti Maria refuse patches ?

Yast is everything but a dynamic UI. So maybe we had a misunderstanding on the 
word "dynamic", for me "dynamic" means some programs/library/CMM says : "hey, 
I have a couple of properties (integer, multiple-choice), show them as 
option" (it's what you see in regedit.exe or Gconf-editor) and what I don't 
want to see.
Yast configuration paged are written and designed by an human.
Which leads to a question, why not reusing YaST ? You mentioned the "binding" 
to ncurses and Qt, there is also GTK, all is missing is FLTK.
