Thanks for posting this -- looks useful.

I'm in the process of testing, and it compiles fine on 32-bit Ubuntu,
but not 64-bit Ubuntu:

cc -O2 -shared -Wall -Werror  -DVERSION='"1.00"'          \
            -Iubuntu/pcb-20080202//src \
            -Iubuntu/pcb-20080202/     \
            footprintupdate.o utilities.o matrix.o pad-pin-data.o
             \
            -o footprintupdate.so
/usr/bin/ld: footprintupdate.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a
local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile
with -fPIC
footprintupdate.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [footprintupdate.so] Error 1

I'm not sure what is causing the above error, but thought I would report.

Thanks,
Cliff
