Thanks!

If there are other analysis types you think would be useful, please
list them.  Personally, I still need to add a list of user-defined
macros to the reports, and maybe provide more info about how close to
the expected Gerber/drill specs the file came.

Bad XY files, most likely.  If you are looking at boards created by
gEDA/PCB, then the XY files were flipped vertically.  This was
fixed in PCB's CVS about a week or two ago.

If your boards were created using some other software package, we'd
like to know what it was, since that suggests a problem with gerbv.

Cairo rendering issue.  Two ways to make gerbv faster:

1.  Change the rendering to "fast".  This turns off the layer
transparency, and also decreases the rendering quality a little bit.

2.  Rebuild after doing ./configure --disable-cairo.  This sets the
graphics library to GDK.
