I had time this weekend, so I worked on getting some of the basic
stuff in the gtk HID working.  At the moment, the basic editing stuff
works.  Meaning, you can click and draw traces and stuff; zoom, pan,
and scroll; properly draw multiple layers with polygon clearances;
etc.  I had to comment out a bit of the gtk color management stuff, so
don't bother trying to change colors just yet, but at least the layer
buttons are the right color now.  You should be able to use it for
basic stuff now, although there's no grid display or status bars yet.

Now would be a good time for any Gtk experts to volunteer to help!
There are a lot of little tasks left to be done, that don't require a
lot of pcb-specific knowledge to work on.

On the lesstif side, I added code to search for pcb-menu.res, or use a
built-in version, so you should be able to use it outside its build
directory now.

I also fixed the bug where paths were prepended twice to the font
file.

Also, I thought of a a way to get EPS prints to properly mask polygon
clearances, although I haven't tried to code it yet.  It will be
computationally expensive in the printer though :-P
