I've just tried Josh's .dsn export function, and it seems to work. So
yes it's true. But there doesn't seem to be a possibillity to reimport
the layout into pcb.
But freerouter does the job really well. It solved the layout without
any vias or unroutable nets in about 3 minutes. (To compare: pcb
autorouter took about 2 Minutes, with 5 unroutable nets. The
toporouter took about an hour with sometimes 0, sometimes several
unrouted nets, depending on the placement of the components)
