Thats pretty much what Dewey has done. Homing.c has become a default homing component but you can now create custom homing components installed from the ini file or command line. Ref: http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/man/man9/homecomp.9.html HIs latest improvements allow you to use the existing procedures defined in homing.c which reduces the additional custom code you have to write. Before that you basically had to include almost all of the homing.c code in your new component. There are a lot of functions dealing with homing sequences and joint axes that generally don't need changing in a custom homing module.
