Some of the code you would have to change is in the files window.c and
screen.c . There are a lot of global structures that are used across
multiple files. There is a lot of code that is compiled conditionally
and adding GUI windows would add many more such pieces of code unless
the Vim code is rewritten using a more object-oriented approach.
So I think that it would be a huge undertaking just to change the
current windows to GUI windows.
