Python Dock for Foal

I've been thinking about the idea of dynamically loading specified Python
modules into Foal and then calling an entry function in them, to get stuff
like clocks, cpuinfo and meminfo dockable apps. Two reasons for this:

   1) I can't get general application docking to work...
   2) Python is huge. Importing an extra module in the same address space
to do something simple is much better than spawning extra interpreters,
provided the module is robust...

    I might get around to adding this as a feature this weekend or next, but
it would be nice to know whether people think there are problems with this
approach.

    Cheers,

James "Wez" Weatherall
