I have experience on EDA tools, but I'm new to geda-pcb. While designing a
two layer board to test it, I saw a youtube video demoing the toporouter
and decided to give it a try. It somehow worked. Took forever to route the
board, and left some nets unrouted, but most of the board was successfully
laid out.

Other than the fact that it is really slow, the main problem I found with
the toporouter is that it did not place a single via. Is there a way to
instruct it to place vias?

Also, how can I make to connect tracks to pads using the teardrop shape? I
have tried "Teardrops()" command, but it did nothing, and "no action
Teardrops()" was shown in the log. I'm using version 1.99z (built from git).

Is there any documentation about the toporouter at all?
