How to you get it to draw updates as the auto-router progresses?
PCB's current auto-router does really evil things when you ask it to do
that (drawing without the GUI necessarily being in an appropriate
state).

This is something I'll really need to fix before pushing the PCB+GL
code, as we hit _all sorts_ of nasty errors / crashes in various GL
libraries if we try drawing whilst the GL context isn't set up.

What I'm saying - is that I'll probably end up breaking whatever method
you use, but if we can cooperate, I'll try and do it in a way which
isn't so hard to fix ;)
