 I really don't like the thought of writing a complex gui as a bunch of
 glyph instantiators either.  For things that will be going in the gutter
 this is doable, but writing something like the `customize' interface from
 sawmill would be ... not fun. 
You can write a high-level API on top of a low-level API.  This is
what widget.el does, can't you use the widget.el framework to provide
a more convenient interface to a glyph based implementation?
