I assume it wouldn't be very hard (but I'm not much of a C programmer). Could we just make something that uses the same network-searching functions as the built-in Connection Manager? I just want stuff like SSID and strength, and the ability to save it as a list. On top of that, we could add some GUI widgets.

Would that be feasible?
Yes, it already exists. You have kismet that runs perfectly well on the 770 but it's a ncurses application, not a graphical one.
And if you need only ssid and rx level you have the iwlist command from the wireless extensions.
that's enough I think.
