That it would but that would require a special development environment that
has opie and gpe environments selectable like plugins. It is doable but time
consumeable. Considering that opie uses qt/embedded and gpe uses gtk+-2.2.
Opie uses a framebuffer to display graphics while gpe uses X. That is alot of
"pluggin". lol.
