I too would like to do this. Unfortunately I am forced to used Windows 
and the Python plugin doesn't.

With considerable help from a few members of this list I tried (very 
hard) compiling Dia in a MinGW environment in Windows but failed. That 
was down to me and is my problem - not anyone else's. I've never tried 
to compile C code before let alone in a MinGW environment. I was warned 
it is tricky.

If you take the MinGW road please make your plans public because I'd 
like to see some success so I can tag along. I hated giving up.

I'm not prepared to install MS Visual Studio (or whatever it is called) 
so if you take that road, I would be very interested in binaries.

Good luck

Mike
