Details:

This patch is a necessary step to allow commands to be run from the GUI, and
also if we want to do something like the Python Plug-in.

It introduces a new programming interface, which deals with  the parsing of
commands, as a seperate process from their execution.
Porting all the commands to the new interface, will be a long, mundane and
monotonous business, so this patch allows us to have a transition period,
where both the new and the old interfaces will be supported.
