Don't worry, I have no intention of removing photo mode from pcb.  Thats 
why I said I have no objections to adding to gerbv but I do object to 
*moving* (implying removal from pcb) it to gerbv

btw, pcb of course can export RS-274X straight from the command line and 
gerbv can plot to pdf, png, postscript from the command line as well.  I 
can't take credit for any of those features but I'm a big fan of 
supporting command line operation.
