Well, yes at the moment I do have to use it.  I don't have the import
functionality. The changes I have made to PCB have broken my ability to
pull upstream updates. Until I get round to re-creating the changes in PCB
(unless someone else has already done the things I have) in the current
codebase I'm stuck with an older version. I mean, I can't even open my
files in the new version (unless someone has changed the file format into
the exact same as I have...)

I guess I should check out the latest version sometime and see what I would
need to reimplement to get myself up to date.
