I think LDDP does already have support for *one* configurable external
program. Put a %0 in the args list to make LDDP pass the name of the
temp file to the external program. I used to add a -p to the args list
to tell ldglite to poll the file for changes, but I don't remember if
LDDP also polls the file for changes. Anyhow, you might be able to do
the same sort of thing with syncedit.exe.
It'd be nice if LDDP could support more than one external program, like
it does with plugins.
