gEDA-user: [pcb] Fab drawings and outlines



I'm working on a patch to PCB to emit a fab drawing along with all the
other layers.  So far it has this on it:

* board outline
* flash for each drill
* silkscreen for elements (but not other silkscreen)
* note documenting board outline
* list of drills with counts, types, and overall totals
* data block - title, author, date, dimensions

Anything else?

Also, I'm thinking of making "print board outline" default to on,
instead of off (the user can still override it).  The shop I dealt
with noted that they prefer the outline there, but I suppose having it
on the fab drawing is sufficient (since pcb only supports simple
rectangle outlines anyway).  Comments?

Note that the "outline" option in PCB adds it to the outer copper
layers only.  The fab drawing will always have it, the others will
never have it.
