Re: gEDA-user: PCB file parsing library

[DJ Delorie <dj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think we'd always wanted a footprint editor to be a mode in PCB, not
a separate utility.  That gives you all the HID graphics, editing
tools, and support libraries built-in.  File->Open->footprint edits
the footprint, File->Open->layout edits a board.  Or
right-click-on-element then "edit element" to edit it in-place.

There has also been talk about changing the file formats (and thus
parsers) to worry about, not that anything has happened that way.

If it was to be a separate utility, you'd still want to just build it
in the same src/* directory as the main pcb so that you have direct
access to all the files therein, including the HID guis.
