Well, it should be. But it depends on what version you're using. the 
"official" 0.9.11 or the CVS?

With 0.9.11, you have to use a "plugin", which means an external 
programm called by a "x" token.

With CVS aka 0.10, there should be a internal function (called "plugin", 
too, but this is really an internal function). But I don't remeber it's 
name at the moment :-(

That's exactly what we are planning to do. So stay tuned!
