The GUI plugin stuff is all Tcl/Tk right now. That said, you could  
write a Tcl/Tk extension in C, and include that in a GUI plugin.  I  
don't think anyone has done that yet.  I was hoping to see a working  
Python/Tkinter GUI plugin for Pd, I think that should be possible  
without a lot of work.
