        Learn about pipes (man popen).

        Ready? OK.
        popen() your shell script and parse it's output. You can do something like
this:

        echo "license=license.txt"

        Your program will then know it's a license, and will display it in a TextBox.
You can also change the "Next" button's text with something like "Accept".

        echo "installdir=$HOME/myinstall"

        Your installer will prompt the user to change the default install dir.

        echo "package=Common,common.tgz"
        echo "package=Documentation,docs.tgz"
        echo "package=Examples,examples.tgz"

        Something like this can be used to list available packages to install. You can
either use a VBox and include as many CheckButtons as needed, or use the new
TreeView stuff from GTK2.

        
        Details in making the C program able to "talk" with the shell script is left as
an exercise for the reader :)
