+1 Circuit-related things should be in the circuit plugin or some "friend"-
plugin. May be, there are people, that want to use KTechLab only for 
developing code for their MCUs and don't want to simulate anything within a 
circuit, at all. I know, this is future, but we should definitively be aware 
of that and it doesn't make a big difference to build it into a plugin or the 
main application.

Yes, but I agree to have only one clock (simulator) for a project. This could 
have multiple circuits, of course.

bye then
