Great!

It struck me that it would be *much* better if the dialog was "reused",
so you'd get a wizard-like interface. I'm not sure how hard this is to
achieve, but it would be a big improvement.

Yes, I noticed.

I was getting confused about when it was back/next and when finish...
I'm not sure how this will work. Tollef?


I do have a fix:

When you step choiceButtons forward, you've changed the pointer, so
free() will be very unhappy with you!

Actually, when using a malloc:ed pointer-to-pointer variable to simulate
a dynamic-size array, I prefer subscribing it with an index variable
instead of using pointer dereference, but maybe it's just a matter of
taste. In many cases in the code you still use an index variable for
other things, though, so maybe it's something to think about?

I'll check in your new patch with the fix above included.

Martin
