| 1. A simple way to add support for custom (read "written by you") controls. I think it might be really cool to only have to add a function that returns a dict of the attributes that can be set on the control, and then add the module that contains the control to a list somewhere accessible from the XRCed GUI. | 1.

| * One way to approach this is to use a plugin-in or drop-in architecture where every widget type has it's own module located in a certain directory. The module contains everythign that is needed to allow XRCed to support that widget, instead of having bits and pieces scattered around the XRCed code. When XRCed starts up it can load all modules in this directory and build it's menus and control bar based on what it finds loads. | * One way to approach this is to use a plugin-in or drop-in architecture where every widget type has it's own module located in a certain directory.
