I took a quick look at libgpmi and it seems to be scarce on 
documentation [1]. [2] have a note on gpmi. [2] also talks about a 
function library and a perl-callable parser. [3] does not mention any
scripting language. There is some scripting possible through
src/action.c.

Is there any plans or needs for a scripting language (like guile/perl/
...) for pcb?
