Okay, it should be there in the GIT and CVS repositories. There's a new entry in the Options menu (and the config file once you save preferences) to control the behavior.
When "Layers in PDF export" is enabled, exporting to PDF should produce one page per layer (the first page shows background + layer 1, the second page adds layer 2, and so on until all layers are there). This should work both with and without "legacy PDF export". It should not affect File -> Print (for printing, all layers should appear together). Please test thoroughly (both with the new option enabled, and disabled; and both with new PDF export and with legacy PDF export) to make sure I didn't break the existing code.
