Without paying for QT, it is definitely not compatible with the Boost
license (the free version is GPL), but I don't believe there would be
problems since this is just going to be an add-on program for use with the
Boost libraries, and not a library itself. The source code would just need
to be included with it. There shouldn't be any issues with people using this
front end for their proprietary, closed-source software. Correct me if I'm
wrong.

I also vote for QT. I like the API more.
Of course, you could always build a minimal web server (or write some CGI
scripts and run from Apache) and do the interface in HTML and Javascript.
