(Architecture) Patch Blender3d if needed for a Python Script Node

[myselfhimself]

In order to have 500-1000 python-generated G'MIC nodes in Blender, corresponsing to G'MIC's JSON-described filters...

We will most possibly* need a Python Script Node/pycompositor-like patch onto Blender first to allow to create custom nodes with:

• configurable image inputs (not yet there),
• custom image processing code (python (eg. gmic-py wrapping G'MIC's C++) or less cool C/C++ to be compiled with Blender),
• configurable image outputs (already possible).

• possibly: the laziest the best: no patching needed would be nice, highest possible performance would be nice.

This shall require a software architecture discussion with the Blender compositing developers in NL... in May when I am more available or someone tackles it first :-/ :-)
