Michael's instinct to put it in Tools is good one.
GUI preferences and support varies among users and environments.
Also, any given GUI runner is just one of many possible solutions
and there is no reason to commit to one.  Better to add something
to Tools, post an ASPN recipe, or list a package on PyPI.

If you need it to be more visible, we can always give it a mention
in the docs.  Though we might want to mention more full featured
tools like Hudson.

Remember, the standard library is where code goes to die ;-)
