Well, IMHO this is not hackish and indeed it may be a good design choice. This
would help to better modularize LibreCAD, leaving some functionality to
external tools, specially if they are command-line based. Kind of unix
principle, I guess.
OTOH, this external tools, wether developed or not inside LibreCAD project,
can be very helpfull for other people in other situations, think in batch
conversion, for example.
