If you wanted to test, its in my branch at
http://repo.or.cz/w/geda-gaf/pcjc2.git?a=shortlog;h=toplevel_overhaul2

You'd want to use git to navigate such that the top most commit (patch
in stgit) isn't built. That is serious work in progress, and won't
build.

As it is, the placing code still needs a little worlk I drew the
diagrams to help me figure out what the rules for "freeing" objects in
the place buffer would be, as the various actions it combines
functionality from had different requirements.

Thanks for the compliment! I've always felt gschem and PCB were good
competition for the sort of commercial tools I'd used in the past.
(Mostly low-medium end packages encountered in school and at Uni).

A lot of people have built a really nice suite of software and I'm very
grateful for it. Its really to being able to contribute to making it
better.

All the best,
