I'd like to make this reliable enough that I could cut stencils for 
people.  That requires a "no tweak" work flow, ideally driven off of 
gerbers instead of pcb Postscript check plots, although the check plot 
trick gets me by.  To drive the laser cutter, I need .dxf files, so I do 
a ps -> dxf conversion.
