    1) Switch to boost hashtable support from wx macros which did not handle std::string. · 9bbff22d

       This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".
    
    2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.
    
    3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.
    
    4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
       layer sets, for pads so far.
    
    5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
       for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
       Layer sets are only in the mask table.
    
    6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
       caller should find it as convenient as possible to use.  LOCALE_IO should handle
       nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
       functions.
    
    7) Drop support for "export module to new library".  Creating new libraries will have to
       be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
       creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO.  So
       this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.
    
    8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
