I had a lot of legacy diagrams that had been designed to be parsed by
tedia2sql,
so that was my immediate need. I think it would be trivial to add support
for the database objects and if other Dia users would find this useful and
I have the time I'm happy to implement it

Ideally, I would like to expand the plugin set to give Dia functionality
akin to MySQL Workbench, but it's a question of time and need - for now I
am only implementing those features that I find necessary and if others
find them useful then that is a bonus.

Cheers
Chris
