I started running datadraw with the parts and pieces you need and it seemed like 
a lot to do unless you develop on windows, but possible...  then I've got stuck 
selling all my time since then...   I would do some work on making it more 
usable if I could afford the time -- make it pay somehow, especially since all 
the improvement to the pcb user interface since back then.

What I'm doing for hierarchy is using john luciani's script pcb-matrix, with a 
little change to one line and a new variable added to make generated hierarchic 
layout to go with non-gnetman gschem hierarchic schematics.

Of course it isn't going to scale to make a good 500K gates viasic chip 
order....  but it's way easier than getting ready to use

I'll put a howto about my way of using pcb-matrix on gedasymbols.org in a minute.
