[Bf-python] Openingen DXF files with python

[Campbell Barton]

Another option is to convert dxf to OBJ or some other external 
converter- 3dto3d I think is okay.

Then you could import the obj automaticly.
This wouldent require any modifications to blender. of you can compile 
blender then have a look into the code, you might be able to make the 
hook yourself.
All you need to do is base your C/Python on another similar function and 
then find the function call that loads DXF files and put it in.

Of course there will always be errors that crop up but you can useually 
nut them out.
