loading the ifacepath at load time

[David Farning]

Gustavo,
     Nice work with all the callbacks.  It makes extending the Gui much
easier than I expected.

  One problem I am having is passing my interface class in at run time
because the iface path is hardcoded to 'smart.interfaces' in
smart.interface.  I am using the following work around. 

Would passing in a interfacepath variable be too intrusive?
