The internal architecture of OpenSCAD doesn't suit me, so asking after
it on the OpenSCAD mailing list led me here. Unfortunately, I'm not
having much luck getting it installed, and things seem a bit moot even
so, it seems I'm a bit premature, since there isn't an ideal export to
G-Code feature yet.

The ideal thing would be to have a mode in OpenSCAD which:

- limits syntax to what ImplicitCAD is compatible w/ in extopenscad
- accesses a binary for ImplicitCAD for use when exporting

This would give one the best-of-both-worlds --- unfortunately, AIUI,
ImplicitCAD's G-Code export is only 2-D at this point in time, but
it'd be nice if OpenSCAD was ready to work w/ it when it is fully 3D.
