Is there a Breakpoint Plugin for Visual Studio?

Background

In some sufficiently large applications, you can spend more time figuring out how to drill down to the various layers than you do actually debugging: That's the case with a piece of software I work on now. Layout/separation of concerns issues aside, it'd be nice to have a breakpoint plug-in that would allow you to load breakpoints depending on which Bugzilla/Jira/Fogbugz/SVN defect entry you're working off of.

Question

Do any plug-ins exist for Visual Studio that allow you to 'save' toggled breakpoints to a file, allowing you to load various breakpoints depending on what bug you're working on?

As an adjunct to that question; if there aren't any such plug-ins, can anyone point me to a 'good' (quite a subjective term, but in this case I mean explanatory and useful) resource on creating plug-ins for Visual Studio?

How about this: "Debugger Settings Visual Studio Add In– Easily Copy Breakpoints between Machines"?

I stumbled upon this while searching the web for an answer. Since this question is pretty old, I thought I would contribute with an updated answer.

Nowadays, you can actually import and export breakpoints in Visual Studio from the Breakpoints window (ctrl + alt + b)

I found this based on a recent Google search:

It seems that Visual Studio 2010 (Professional) has added an "export breakpoints to file" function. (You can find it in the Breakpoints window.)
