That's the kind of thing I had in mind. Reconstructing the higher level
information sounds hard (or maybe impossible), but getting it into a
form you could load into pcb sounds more feasible. With the help of a
suitable config file you could guide it which layers to map to which
files, and maybe even assign pseudo pin connections to the points that
need to connect to other circuitry.
