There's a field in hid.h that says whether to dice or not.  I know ps
should not use dicing, but eps and gerber need it.  Not sure which
lesstif would prefer.

Note that copper overlaps at the ends of traces, as we (1) draw the
circle ends, and (2) as traces themselves overlap.  Probably best to
mask the layer after rendering it.
