It might be easiest to move the standard objects library into the main
executable. That way we wouldn't have to go through the more general
interfaces (which appear to be insufficient at worst, and over verbose for
simple things like creating a line at best).
As dia will bomb out if it can't load this plugin anyway, it won't make
much of a difference.
