I think you may want to use this Frank Bergmann patch (I like it very much)
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2779826&group_id=73743&atid=538813
from PCB Sourceforge patch tracker, ID 2779826, posted 2009-04-23 19:58.

I'd like to have a wider scripting capabilities in PCB, but only if it
doesn't decrease
it's portability; I certainly don't want the program to have new hard
dependencies.

BTW, could you find the post about scripting plugin in the list
archives and review it
(IIRC it appeared this spring or summer)?

I believe this typically won't help very much; there is --verbose
option, but it is not used very often.

Kind regards,
