I think it is a good idea to use something that is well written. I'm okay
with SWIG. However, it doesen't have to be perl. So yes, if this is towrds the
goal of creating a parser, I think this is a good way.

Btw, it has a name now, it is called Apollon-PCB.

I crated a github project, as my server went down. So I can grant you (and
anyone) commit access.

https://github.com/leventelist/apollon

I look for other developers who can contribute to this project.

As the readme states, I want to integrate this into pcb, OR create a brand new
project, and use as much code as we can from gEDA/pcb.

The schema is changed a bit. I removed hard wired attributes, and created an
attribute table.
