How hard would it be to make the gcode prefix/postfix code optionally
loaded from a file?

My situation is that my super cheap pcb router doesn't support bits of
the prefix (G64 & M7) and I would like to have some custom postfix code
in each gcode file (Moves to a safe location essentially) but the prefix
and postfix code are hard coded into the binary.

So unless I am missing something my options are:
1. hand edit each gcode file (already getting old)
2. Hack the source code (hid/gcode/gcode.c) to make it what I want -
which is what I am probably going to do
3. Beg for a feature.

So consider this me begging, low priority, as I said I will probably
just fix my local copy. But I thought it worth mentioning in case
someone is feeling bored.
 I don't know gtk and don't feel motivated enough to learn it just for
this. My approach would be a check box and text box on the gcode export
dialog. If the checkbox is checked the text box is a file that contains
the pre/postfix code.

And since I am begging it would be nice if the export settings were
saved so they don't have to be reentered every time.

Okay I'm done now.
