In my MVC forays I'm using GDispatcher in my Controller to map Model
events to View methods, and vice-versa.  Usually this is in the
context of a component, so I use the main UIObject extension as my
Application, then instantiate my Application Controller and pass it a
reference.  My Application Controller instantiates my Model and View,
and links their functionality with GDispatcher.

I don't like it.  The MM framework is slow, and I have problems with
live preview and LocalConnection.  However, the classes are decoupled
enough to stay tight for the fifteen minutes it takes to make this
design fail :)
