Hi all,
 
after a Saturday code sprint:
 
- please run ./configure before you next compile, there were some changes
 
- Erich made a lot of progress with the Kicad exporter code: we can export 
a pcb buffer (menu: Buffer/Save buffer elements to file) to a Kicad 
library module; works even with multiple different footprints in the 
buffer; should work properly for most features, except 
non-90-deg-rotated-smd-pads.
 
- for supporting the Kicad exporter, I had to add code that can determine 
whether two footprints are the same - not by name, but by looking at all 
the pins, pads, lines and arcs; this will open some interesting 
possibilities in the future, especially when we do the lihata file format 
(since lihata supports symlinks)
 
Regards,
 
Igor2
