As always, this is a snapshot of a work in progress. There have been
many bug fixes and feature additions and as always there is still more
to do. Thanks to everyone who has provided feedback. A summary of the

Release Notes for PCB snapshot 20050127
========================================================================

- Fix drill size for PLCC sockets in ~geda library.  Fix drill size for
  LED3 and LED5 footprints in ~geda library.

- Move the right-click popup menu to pcb-menu.res.

- Add DisperseElements() action for spreading out elements in an initial
  layout.

- Fix fab drawing output for the case where a very small number of
  drill sizes are used.

- Various documentation improvements.

- Remove many compiler warnings.

- Added metric output to the cursor display

- Fix <Key>. for toggling 45 degree mode.

- Crosshair snap snaps to center of pads and also to the mark of the
  element.

- Protect all strcmp() calls with a check for a NULL pointer.  Fixes
  various crashes.

- Fixed the mode buttons which were unresponsive in some versions of 
  the X libraries.

- Element names may be edited over the element.

- Added --enable-efence for ElectricFence debugging.  Off by default

- Added --disable-rpath to avoid using rpath for the X libraries.

- Added vendor resource file support.  This allows lets you specify
  a set of allowed drill sizes and drc rules for a particular vendor.

- Added -action command line option to allow executing an action on
  startup.

- Date and time of compilation added to About dialog.

- Fix a bug where the soldermask relief on a new element is 100x smaller
  than the default when "convert buffer to element" is used.

- Fix a name_tree corruption bug when changing an element name.

- Don't remove the formatted manual with a 'make clean' since they are
  part of the distfile.  

- Let automake handle the html and pdf conversion.  This ends up using
  texi2pdf for the pdf output which seems to do a better job than ps2pdf.

- Sort actions by modifier so that both Ctrl<Key>x and <Key>x work.

- Fix a SelectByName bug.

- Fix non-gcc compilation

- Command history added to :
