Thoughts on G02 and G03

[zrichmond]

I'm very interested in using millcrum for a project, but I would need the ability to program arcs using G02 and G03. After a brief look at mc.js it seems like it wouldn't be too bad to add in, but then again I might be fooling myself. Wondering if it's possible?

It wouldn't be too hard, but the polygons have the ability to generate arcs
if they are circular.

Also svg.js (inside Millcrum) has bezier code so you could use that to add
bezier support directly to the code (which would give much more control of
a curve than g2/g3).

The currently polygon curve support generates line segments of a curve, the
same thing the controller does for your cnc from g2/g3.
