Yeah, it would be better if it was supported by MLCAD, either directly or via
the drag and drop protocol or something similar. I was just thinking in terms
of plugins because that's what we were talking about, and it really affects
only one part of MLCAD - the parts palette. What plugins are usually necessary
for is to provide efficient support for features that are not commonly used,
or provide features that the application's author can't implement or doesn't
want to implement in the main application.
