Aha... you already added PCB output... superb. (I had mistakenly thought
it was just dxf until I grabbed the sources and did a git log!)

Needs arc support in the long term, but the board I'm currently trying
to import doesn't have any.

I've just coded up a function for PCB to bulk-smash elements into pieces
(so I can turn the emitted pads back into primitives), and I'll probably
kludge up some code (probably a PCB action) to figure out and substitute
in vias.
