  We need a new interface, becausethe circuitdocument is subclassed from  
KDevelop::KPartDocument. Instead I'd suggest:
CircuitDocument <- IComponentDocument <- Kdevelop::KPartDocument.

  Inheriting from the Core is not a solution, because the Core is created  
in kdevplatform. The way to go is with a ISimulationController singleton.

This is still a problem. Maybe load them from the SimuationController at  
document attachment?
