Hey, I added rotated pads!  ;-)

I don't recall bumping into this then, though.

I think of that myself a lot.  The first step is to make it compile
under either C or C++, and work out the "detect C++ compiler" bugs and
make sure everyone can get g++.  Then we rewrite it from scratch,
basically - the data design is very embedded everywhere.  I recall
extracting the GUI into the HIDs was a big project, this is probably
bigger.
