Addin support #65

What do you want?
Basically the option to add addins via loadable DLLs to the IDE. This way the 
community could commit more to the project. 

Why do you want it?
This way "exotic" additions to the ide could be made and it could be tailored 
to everyones needs. Think of the Fuse calculator. It is useful, no doubt, but 
for arduino users, e.g., t is not sooo useful and could be deactivated if it 
was "only" a plugin. But i think of other stuff as well.. 

How do you suggest it's added?
As the project is using .Net 3.5 i would suggest using System.Addin as the most 
convenient option with a set of interfaces for the most rudimentary stuff: 
Adding a toolbar button/Menu Item(with subitems) and a window as well as giving 
access to the textfield and some minor details to be figured out later.

Will it cause any incompatibility problems with previous versions?
None i could think of.
