Note that I meant "pop-up help within pcb" - we already use *.pcb
files for many getting started guide and pcb manual illustrations.

Imagine having PCB pop up a hint window which itself is a board
layout, which demonstrates what you're trying to do - with text
annotations etc.  Thus, when you pop-up a help window, you can zoom,
pan, do reports, *try* the hints, cut-n-paste, etc.

Of course, it means supporting more than one layout at a time.
