There is no GUI per default

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): any
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): any
 - Mupen64Plus version: 1.99
 - Plugins used: default

Describe the problem:
Mupen64plus does per default not provide a GUI interface. This is an important 
regression for most users of version 1.5.
While there are third party plugins, none of them are official and they 
generally do not have all the setup capabilities of the old gui (especially 
configuring the joystick is still not possible afaik).
Not providing a gui per default highly irritates the user, most won't find the 
optional guis and then they don't know which to choose.
While I appreciate the separation of interface and logic and having a different 
gui on e.g. a smartphone than a pc is desired, there should be a default gui 
for the pc.

Even an interim one to use would be better than nothing!

Please read my post here: 
http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/issues/detail?id=380#c1

Basically, the current version is still a developer release and not meant for 
regular end-users.  Please read around the site next time before posting 
something like this as an "issue."  If you absolutely _must_ use the emulator 
right now, there is a plethora of documentation explaining how to configure 
everything and its usage.

Mupen64Plus has changed.  It is no longer an application.  It provides no user 
interface at all.  Mupen64Plus now only provides a dynamic library API, which 
may be called from a separate application to run the emulator.  I have written 
a new command-line only application to demonstrate the usage of the library and 
provide a simple user interface, but I have no intention of writing a GUI.  
Luckily there are a bunch of different people who have started up their own 
projects writing GUIs to use the Mupen64Plus library.  As soon as one of these 
starts to gain traction and attract developers I'm sure this problem will go 
away.
