gEDA-user: Pcb autorouter plugin support?

[Stefan Salewski <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would it be possible to access the (auto)-routing functionality of pcb by  
external plugins?

I think we agree that pcb autorouter is not perfect, so improvement is 
possible. And I am sure there are clever people out there, which have fun 
experimenting with there own routing algorithm. If it is necessary to 
understand many pcb internals and to recompile the whole pcb source to test 
an algorithmen, then this will prevent many people from testing there ideas.

An alternative would be a separate autorouter playground -- maybe a simple 
matrix of ascii characters in its simplest form. But I think a pcb plugin or 
at least a well documented interface with a simple example of a stupid 
autorouter algorithmen would be much fun.

Best regards
