I'm currently working on a similar kind of replacement for Pakrat, so 
this is probably the "with a hammer everything looks like a nail" style 
of programming...
...But if I were to make a VBCT replacement I'd want to do it in Java, 
especially now that we have the whole Mac-platform news.

1. A lot of code would automatically be cross-platform, including GUI 
look/feel.
2. Most of the data formats it has to access (gameconfig.txt) are 
relatively straightforward, there's no need for C-level code-sharing 
with the SDK.
3. You can use a library like commons-exec to easily "wrap" 
vbsp/vvis/vrad in an object-oriented manner.
