The pcb-rnd code has been modularized somewhat and has diverged from the
mainline code to the point that it now has a different build/config system,
so merged code with a simple compile-time option seems unlikely.

I think Tibor is looking for assistance with implementing opengl support.

Leveraging my previous footprint and symbol conversion efforts, I have
nearly completed a pcb-rnd plugin for legacy format kicad layout export (
http://imgur.com/a/ZfLEV ), in addition to already working pastebuffer
element (footprint) export to kicad. Kicad layout and footprint import is
next on the to-do list, and export in a format compatible with openEMS or
similar EM modeling tools is a tantalizing near term possibility.

Regards,

Erich.
