Yes, I was working on this one: the whole .pcb and .fp format code is a 
~2k sloc plugin now, behind an API of 6 function pointers. While this 
makes it easy to provide alternative file format plugins for pcb-rnd, it 
doesn't (yet?) do the other way: the code still depends on "global.h" and 
friends. So if you want to reuse the parser linking the plugin 
directly, that still would bring in most of the core (~40k sloc).

I have longer term plans to turn the core into a misc part (that contains 
main() for example) and a lib external tools can link against.
