Brilliant. This would make a great GSoC project, especially if we put all the routing geometry stuff in.
The stroke to path is excellent at allowing for the kerf lost when cut by a router. This aspect could be integrated but maybe its enough that you can do it in inkscape now. A hint in docs would probably do. Its possible but I haven't tested it - that the existing gcode export extensions will create suitable gcode.
If we manage one day to get python (cross-platform) integration then this could just be a python extension. Then it would not require the enormous effort required to make an integration with the core. (IMHO). I think I saw a proposal about doing a different kind of python integration but have lost the ref.
