There is already DWG support in OGR using Teigha - but apparently no one has
the library available there either to actually build it - at least not for
making it public.

But it's tied to OGR feature model - the features are mapped to simple features
and it's also tied to it's symbology model - which AFAIK is neither close to
QGIS symbology possibilities nor to what DXF/DWG can do.  That's probably also
why the DXF export was implemented natively in QGIS after the symbology support
in OGR was extented for it.

So the idea is to make a provider/plugin where you can get most of the DWG and
have if look close like what it used to look in CAD.
