Please read the damn code before complaining. dia is almost only plug-ins
already. Arguably, cooking up a "command-line plug-in" which pipes the dia
file into a command line should be really a piece of cake to do (and
cross-platform without too much pain & Hans mopping up your code after it's
checked in).

Besides, who cares about competing with Visio ? I don't. And we sure have
two hell of advantages against it (hint: beer & speech).

So, if you want stuff, please feel free to send patches (or spon$or someone
to do them).
