With all respect to Bert's work, who knows about the PCB-plugins 
package? Almost nobody - 63 downloads in 4 years... I tried find some 
reference to it on gEDA/PCB pages... no luck.

Why cannot be these plugins  part of PCB's source tree as user 
contributions? They would get  more attention, I guess.

I will change both my exporters to plugins, some changes are required 
(remove dependency on configured source tree).  The way how they will be 
published is still undecided.
