Sounds neat. I'm an amateur artist, professional programmer, so I can't
evaluate the utility. What is your workflow like to use it?  How does it
come in handy?

As for the programming side questions..

The Blender UI is rendered with OpenGL. There are options for generating a
few different types of UI from python addons using Blender's internal UI
widgets. If you just want some toggles during an import step, it's really
really easy. Here is an example for the OBJ importer registration, UI, and
import...

UI  ->
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/trunk/py/scripts/addons/io_scene_obj/__init__.py
import ->
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-extensions/trunk/py/scripts/addons/io_scene_obj/import_obj.py

Access to camera objects and other goodies can all be found in other
examples by fishing around the addon directories, or by reading the Python
API docs..

If you are looking for artist interest, I generally get more response here..
