Do you happen to know where the long time ago patch is?

> Hello,
> Long time ago I remember playing around with a patch that added thermals to SMD pads. There were a few issues with it, however during normal work I figured out that in fact the most usable (maybe not only for me) thermals for pads are "solid" - the same as setting clearance to 0. Problem with just setting clearance to 0 is when You want to change clearance to a part of board (by selecting objects and doing :changeclearsize(selected, xx, mm/mil)) is that this breaks Yours connected pads also.
> Stripped version for this patch that supports only "solid" thermals for pads is just a few lines of code (just tested it pcb opengl version).
> My question: Do You think that adding it to mainline might be a good idea? If You want to use it OK, if not it does not breaks anything.
