I contributed the Stipple <http://www.sandpiper-inc.com/stipple/html/> 
plugin, which I find indispensable for flexible circuit boards and 
capacitive touch sensors (features not found in KiCad). If I can find 
time for a test of your branch with my plugin I'll let you know I've 
verified it.

      <br>
      I have plans to clean up the core code a bit, including the
      internal data representation. (This would be the second step to
      solve those old problems like "copper text/arc/anything in
      element", "b/b vias", "polyon pads", "pad stack", "better
      representation of physical layers", etc. But this mail is not
      about those.)
      <br>
      <br>
      Once I start that clean up, it'll be harder to port mainline HIDs
      to pcb-rnd, so I decided to port all the plugins/exporters
      available now - 10 feature plugins last week, and 6 import/export
      modules this week:
      <br>
       - dsn export (specctra, for autorouting)
      <br>
       - dsn import (used to be part of the dsn export HID)
      <br>
       - openscad export (3d, original name: scad HID)
      <br>
       - dxf export (3d/mech cad)
      <br>
       - breadboard export
      <br>
       - ipcd356 export (automated electrical testing)
      <br>
      <br>
      If you need any of these features then I need your help: please
      read on.
      <br>
      <br>
      The full list with current states:
      <br>
      <br>

      <br>
      <br>
      They all compile now so they are no longer blocking the future
      cleanings - that was the initial goal of porting them. However, I
      am not sure they are working properly or whether any user would
      use these at all. This means all these new plugins are in a frozen
      state until user demand appears.
      <br>
      <br>
      Dear gEDA user, if you are interested in using any if these
      exporters please contact me, because we need to do some testing
      and potentially some bugfixing and improvements. If there's actual
      user demand (and resources to test) behind any of these exporters,
      I believe I could get them properly working in a matter of 1..2
      weeks.
      <br>
      <br>
      If there's no user demand, I'd just keep them in their current
      state: compilable but who-knows-if-really-works, constantly
      forward porting during the clean ups.
      <br>
