Bug Description
Overhaul the fractal definition to some sort of formula-driven system. This would make it easier to experiment quickly.
"Obviously" these would be lexed and parsed into some sort of intermediate representation which was then executed by a maths engine. The computation-heavy bits could even be JIT-compiled for speed.
The "obvious" choice of tools to achieve this is flex and bison. http://
The choice of intermediate is not. It may be worth looking into LLVM as it already supports JIT. See http://

Of course, moving to LLVM risks stymieing the plans for a Win32 port...
