Well turbocnc does the same. expects a g-code file as input and does
all the motor control. But i plan to rewrite some parts of it in order
to accept DXF and other formats used. I also plan on doing tool path
planning for turbocnc. 
In fact what i want is to have a CNC control software simillar to the
ones found on windows.
