create interface , and module/library - that doesn't 1:1 reflect GUI -  
and you'll be able to create interface in any language/toolkit.

Idea's great, I certainly know many ppl would love to see something  
like that. Cos so far, whole 'adjust setting in postgresql.conf' thing  
is a guess work. It would be even more good to put in some work into  
auto tuning of pgsql itself, with manual override in  
postgresql.conf :) (kinda like mssql).
