How about a "scripting language" plugin? It would make it really easy to add
new ideas...

For example, you could have a text file like so:


Dialog

  name "MyDialog"
  sidebar //puts it in the side menu; could be window instead to make it
popup
  //if it's window, have pos X,Y, Size X,Y

checkbox

 pos 10,10
 name "C1"
 value 0
}

label {
  pos 10,20
 value "This is C1"
}

editbox

 pos 10,30
 size 10
 name "RepeatVal"
 value "100"
 }
}

output {
 print "#declare Max=" . $MyDialog(RepeatVal) . ";"
 ....
 ....
}


It's very rudimentary -- but I'm thinking of something along the lines of
the scripting language found uin the mIRC chat program for windows.
(http://www.mirc.co.uk )

Anyone game for this?
