Ok, I'm now thinking:
Let's make it 'ai' and 'ui' (because it is the right thing to do)
and then forget about the 'gui' level and don't be afraid to put
graphic related functions/abstractions in 'ui'...
At least we're moving the inconsistence further away and it should
be easier to add a 'gui' directory to 'ui' in the future if that
would be justified than go the other way...

I tend to confuse packages and packets... :p
