Subject:	[geda-user] Merge layers during print

This small patch series adds a couple of attributes in order to allow
layers to be merged with special named layers during print. The first
is just a 'PCB::skip-print' attribute that can be used to prevent
a layer from being printed on its own. The second is a 'PCB::merge'
attribute. It can be set to a print layer name like 'fab', or 'toppaste'.

So if you want to open up the solder mask on the component side, just set
the PCB::skip-print attribute, and then set PCB::merge to componentmask.
Draw a polygon where you want soldermask cleared, and done. Same with adding
notes and annotations to the fab drawing, or extra windows in the stencil.
