Priorities
==========
* Clean out old unused files - scons build system is dead, cmake is the way to go.
* GTK GUI was not cross-platform. A Qt5 version of the GUI has been created to meet this need.
I will keep the GTK GUI around for Linux users who prefer it, but when it comes to adding new features
the Qt GUI is where I plan to add them first (if at all).
* The Qt GUI has by far exceeded the capabilities of the older GTK version. Below is a GUI capability
matrix showing the differences between the two. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE Qt GUI.
* Code cleanup. Lots of compiler warnings with newer GCC. Maybe I'm OCD... but these warnings bother me.
Features
========
* Emulator no runs as a separate thread from the GUI. Much improved performance.
* Cross platform QT GUI is fully functional minus Debug Tools.

QT
===
* Clean out rest of old GTK comments and #ifdefs
* GUI Debug Tools TODO
* GUI should compile in windows as well.... but testing is not a priority since the windows gui already has a totally separate backend.

* Docs REALLY need a cleanup/rewrite
