I've got a working perl module for reading autocad drawings, but it requires
the openDWG toolkit and is nowhere near an installable state (you have to
basically ape my setup or figure out how to compile and install it.)
I've got the go-ahead to release it as open-source, but the issue of creating
a distributable package holds me back from creating the release. On top of
that, it was originally built with Swig, but I want to change it over to
Inline::C.
If you have a linux system or aren't afraid to try to make this C code work on
Windows (never tried, but it should be possible), contact me off-list and I
will see if it can be done.
