Yeah it would. Bat files help a lot too. Best to express the "front end" in pure graphical terms. And have it drive a batch file. That itself accesses the command line tools. All of these different levels have important roles to play. In Linux all applications are expected to obey this hierarchy.
PS: x2mdo is going to be obsolete so you should support x2mdl. It's going to output MDO and MDL files together before long. Since MDL is inadequate as a graphical format, and MDO doesn't have animation. I don't know about x2msm but it will need to be ported so that it can be free of Windows. You should make one combined front-end (GUI) for all of them. And separate commandline scripts files for each of them.
