I agree with Stefan. The world needs a good viewer here and there.
Particularly for formats that are not implemented in gEDA/PCB yet. How
do you know if your using the IPC2851 library in your already existing
PCB package if there is no viewer to check it against?

Thank you very much for writing this. We need more interoperability
and writing libraries is a good cause.
