Also add 
* metric support for PCB directives defined in schematic.
* add support for full design rule scopes & sets [Technology Sets] to be
defined in schematic and transferred to PCB with netlist.

Both above, along with seperate lib manager for sort/merge would allow much
more productive working in SME and workgroup enviroments. Especially where
the design entry and layout work are split between departments/people.
