So what was the status?  I got it to compile cleanly, but it didn't
make an output file.  The fopen() call is never executed.

Also, it appears to print things to the dxf file directly, but also
links dxflib.  Which approach were you trying to take?

I'm thinking that my use of dxf is different than everyone else's:  I
want to edit in a real CAD program, then import back into pcb, but
everyone else seems to want to edit gerbers in 2d cad.  So maybe the
tool I want is different.
