What is the reason for not treating extruder temp as spindle speed? It already has the on/off/set functionality. Also, if you use the spindle-at-speed in the HAL LinuxCNC will pause until the extruder gets up to temp before doing any feed moves (though, I think, it will still be able to home and rapid).
This is one of the things that has annoyed me about the RepRap folks, they go inventing a bunch of M-codes to do what standard codes should already be able to do in a proper controller.
