Wonderful!  This has been necessary for a long time.

It's non-trivial right now.  What's mainly missing is something that can
replace the list widgets used by UML class.  There was work on it some time
ago, but I haven't heard news from that lately.  Try searching the list
archives for PROP_LIST.  Maybe you can group together to tackle this problem.

Prime places are in the source and on the Dia TWiki
<http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/DiaEditor>.  Feel free to update
the TWiki as you learn stuff.
