This is advice, not a flame:  I'd say forget the project.  If you haven't got 
the time nor inclination to hack the files, you won't really have the time to 
write an editor if given the specs.  Considering that there will be a level 
editor provided with the final release, I'd think you'd get more enjoyment 
(and so would others) if you wrote something cooler than another level editor. 
 Maybe even wait a few weeks, buy the software, and make some levels for the 
rest of us.  I plan on making at least one myself.
