That sucks.  HeeksCNC might be ported to Freecad?  Depending in the license 
of course, but re-inventing wheels is a bit boring.

So I head off to go see if I can build freecad, but an hour later, on 
pclos, no.  The QT Webkit dependencies (-devel stuff) is missing from the 
pclos repo's so build.sh terminates:

checking whether QtWebKit is available... no
checking for Qt >= 4.3... configure: error: Cannot find Qt meta object 
compiler (moc), bye...

QTWebkit is installed (as libqtwebkit) but no -devel files are in the repo.  
Damn this sucks.

However, it does appear that freecad is in far better shape than heekscad 
for available dox.  That file alone is 26 megs in the tar.bz2 I pulled.

Sigh, while I appreciate the near absolute stability of pclos, stuff like 
this has me burning Centos6 disks.  I have a machine I call goat cuz its 
sacrificial, so I think its next install is on those 2 dvd's now.

Cheers, Gene
