So, yes, this is a complete rewrite of the old Mandelbrot app. The engine
is little more than a conversion from JS, and it's a pretty hacky mess, but
it works, and with a little optimization should be just as fast as the
original engine. It also supports multiple fractal sets (burning ship,
multibrot, Julia), and I do plan to expose that functionality in the GUI,
as well as adding back multithreading. It already looks nicer and supports
arbitrary window sizes, rather than being locked to 480x320 or whatever the
old one had a max size of.

General comments/questions welcome, of course.
