gEDA-user: Converting paper to PCB.pcb?

[Bob Paddock <bpaddock@csonline.net>]

The data sheet for the LM2674 has a evaluation board, complete with board 
layout artwork, as many data sheets do.

I can copy the artwork in to the Windows Clip board with Acrobat, then make a 
image out of it with GIMP.

Is there any way to past this GIMP image, in any format, into the PCB program, 
so that it can be edited as a real PCB?

I'm guessing that is not possible directly.

However the program CIRCAD, from http://www.holophase.com/ has an option where 
you can past an image onto a 'transparent' layer, then do your work.  Typical 
of reverse engineering PCBs.

Anyway to do the equivalent in PCB?
