Subject:	[geda-user] early results/problems trying to make pcb file parsers using SWIG

Spent today on this.

SWIG itself was somewhat painful, had to rebuild most of pcb as shared
lib, but it calls into it ok now

Then come the problems with pcb itself...

LoadPCB(char *) sounds good but apparently not, it seg faults I think
due to assumptions about things in global Settings already being
filled in.  Down from there its something of a tangled web, as pcb
file and settings loading seem strangely intertwined.  Anyone off-hand
know how/what to call to parse just the pcb file?

This mess manifests itself to users as well with the strange rewriting
of the config file by pcb (I'd much rather just get error messages)
and lack of clarity where the settings are coming from.  Not that I
have any idea how to clean it up
