Here a silly two-line for most of the job:

cd gui/wxpython/gui_modules/
for i in menuform.py gmodeler.py menu.py prompt.py goutput.py ; do mv
$i tmp.py ; cat tmp.py | sed 's+shlex.split+utils.split+g' > $i ; rm
-f tmp.py ; done
for i in menuform.py gmodeler.py menu.py prompt.py goutput.py ; do mv
$i tmp.py ; cat tmp.py | sed 's+import shlex+import utils+g' > $i ; rm
-f tmp.py ; done

I hesitate to submit this since a my wx fu is not high enough to verify
but the GUI starts.
