I've been working on it for quite a while and today I finished the part I consider to be the most professional so far (ok, maybe one should judge the next day): knot insertion. This allows to convert bsplines to Blender's bezier curves.
The raw DXF reading part is done by a python library written by Manfred Moitzi. I collaborated a lot with him in the past weeks. He also contributed a class that allows to sort and merge lines to a polygon (quite efficiently / python-optimized).

The docs and release notes are on bitbucket, where you can find also the addon with all the testfiles - speaking about testfiles. I also wrote a test script that reads them in one after the other and save it as a .blend file. That helped me to improve the quality a lot.

Also: I've been in contact with Remigius Fiedler who wrote the existing addon. He is happy to replace the importer with the new one and together we hope that it attracts some attention not only in the Blender but also in the CAD community ;-)

I’d like to get this on https://developer.blender.org/differential/, easier to handle reviews…

Also, I think we try to avoid binary files, so would probably be good to only add needed py files, keeping pngs, tests etc. outside of Blender addons?
