I don't really think it makes sense to modify the drc part of PCB's save, as the two sets of design rule specs probably don't line up really well. But maybe a "load rules from dru file" menu selection would be good -- it could read a .dru file and pick out the pieces that make sense, then just go forward with PCB in the normal way.
