Not that hard. But making it clean is not completly trivial. If you want to do 
so, I suggest adding a list of autocompletable words in the TextInput object 
(libgag/include/GUITextInput.h and libgag/src/GUITextInput.cpp). When a tab 
is pressed, the text input should look if the letters before the cursor down 
to a space or a tab correspond to a word in the autocompletion list. If so, 
those letters should be replaced by the word. If not, the tab character 
should be added. If the letters correspond exactly to the word (i.e. the word 
is already there), a tab should be inserted.

If everyone want it and I get some time, I can add it later, when I've finish 
working on a color themed and bitmapped GUI (what I'm doing now).
