Feature Request: Control API

Hello there!

I have a suggestion that may make future upgrades/plugins easier in regards to controlling the software.

I was thinking that you could support control interfaces through a plugin API.

The Freestyler side of this would just have to load the DLL, and then have a set of calls. Some would be called by freestyler, and some would be events triggered by the dll.

EG:

getInfo - Get a version, author, name, etc of the plugin
sendCommand - DLL would issue command like start sequence 1, select light number, etc.

I'm sure there are a myriad of programmers that would love to make plugins for this proggy.

Cheers
