But the first step is to implement something that can be tested, and for implementation I find known-good data points to be helpful. > The problem is not the implemenation.

Once an implementation exists then the testers may emerge. :) Considering the required effort I guess noone will commit to testing before something is ready. This feature might also be a good candidate for sponsoring, but there too the gerbers and/or .lht should exist first. //Peter
