Use something like libhttpd or thttp to embed a webserver. Using ideas based on REST, design a RPC system (can use XML-RPC or if you're bent on making it a web based frontend, then maybe JSON-RPC) to communicate with the GUI.

Although GLUI is an option for solving the problem it is not an answer to the question.

Just link something like libhttpd. You can find enough information in the documentation to get you started. Just use httpdPrintd(server, "Mijn var is %s, foo) to show your variables and myvar = httpdGetVariableByName(server) to get posted (changed) values back.

Some one please don't. It's in a half stage of trying to be big while not being small. It has a lot of flaws in it that don't make it a large RDBMS. PostgreSQL comes a lot closer, but there are a lot of larger databases that can pound both of them out for reliability and overall performance.

Please don't post that link about mysql's supposed better performance. It likes to choke after dealing with much MUCH larger sets of data. But I digress.

I'd imagine something MUCH smaller, like mini sql or SQLLite as someone else pointed out.

A better language, may be one that compiles or at least turns into byte code. Perl+parrot, c, c++, java mayyybe if the vm is small. Because these devices are limited in speed and memory, extra overhead is bad. If a VM can stay in memory and run the programs as they come w/o a combilation process, the better. Imagine if a project like Eclipse was written in php-gtk. It'd be a resource-bear and slower than it is on some machines.

(Not that I didn't find it funny, but I thought it was somewhat inappropriate for a corporate website, ya know? :-)

No, mSQL is a completely separate project. I think mySQL deliberately started as a superset of mSQL, but other than that, there's no relation.
