What's a DXE?  Is it something like overlays?

You see my problem is this.  I'm writing a CAD/CAM package that will work 
for various CNC machines.  The CAD packages for all the machines is the 
same (just drawing circles and stuff), but the CAM side will be different 
for each machine.  What I would like to do is (when the package is 
finished) supply the customer with the CAD side of the program and a CAM 
side that's specific to his machine.  If the customer then gets a new 
machine (or upgrades the old one) I simply supply the CAM side for the 
new machine.  Ideally I would like to have the CAD side as the main 
executable and the CAM side as a 'library' or 'overlay' that the main one 
executes (no matter what CAM version it is).  And I dont'mean shelling 
out and running the CAM program as a separate program.

Did I make myself clear enough?  Any help will be appreciated.
