EMC-programming request

I have a request for the programmers who are working on EMC (Fred, Will,
etc...):
Would it be possible to make a probe (CMM type) software interface with
XEMC? It would be great to be able to digitize a part in XEMC and then
output a basic x,y,z coordinate file. It would be nice to make a teach
mode for it at the very least.
I would like to be able to write a G-code program that would move in .100"
increments over a part, slowly lower the spindle, touch the part with a
crude microswitch rigged probe, stop spindle movement, record the position,
and move on.
Fred, if you are out there, what are some of the future plans for EMC?
What direction would you like to see the project go? I think that you
guys have done a great job with this thing, it works very smoothly for me.

Thanks,
Dan
