My definition :

    FLAC compiles on/for.

I disagree that it needs to be bundled with FLAC, but agree with it
being desirable.

Even if this FLAC GUI is cross platform I don't think it should
be part of the FLAC source code tree. It should be developed in
a separate source repository even if that repository is hosted
on Xiph. Also happy to have a link from the FLAC web page to the
GUI program.
