Not the sort of wrapper we were thinking of before.

It's probably quite possible to make piddleQD work without the IDE; 
but what we need isn't wrappers of existing code, so much as 
encapsulation.  The IDE classes, W classes, and Framework classes 
seem to be a bit intertwined, and it's not clear to me how to 
separate them.

What we'd need to do is load the Framework, and possible W, classes 
that are needed, and construct the piddleQD window on those.

But I'm curious: what are you doing with piddleQD that isn't more 
convenient to do in the IDE anyway?
