I'd like board objects to be searched through by any attrib down to what is atomic
for chip design even, since PCB may soon be used for organic printable circuits
much like chip design tools are.  ??Gnetman might plug in to pcb some day if we modularize it enough?? --
gnetman promises large scale database speed handling of millions of objects, (not needed yet).

To control drawing tools via a plugin in any language
Igor/Tibor's GPMI interface allows would be fabulous!  Think of all the extra efforts
that people would make in all their different favorite scripting languages?
Just like SWIG, and we already have it.

What are you working on?  Why not try those ideas on us?
