* All items shapes  are converted to polygons.
* Polygons are merged layer by layer (for calculation time reasons,zones are not merged)
* for copper layers, vias and pads holes are substracted from polygons (but, for calculation time reasons,  not inside zones areas).
* the look is better, mainly when displaying the copper thickness
* solder and paste layers are now shown in 3D viewer.
* the code was seriously cleaned (but still needs to be enhanced).
* Note this is a work in progress which needs refinements.

- Removed spurious int casts (these are truncated anyway and will break
  doubles)

- Applied the Distance, GetLineLength, EuclideanNorm, DEG2RAD, RAD2DEG
  ArcTangente and NORMALIZE* functions where possible

- ArcTangente now returns double and handles the 0,0 case like atan2, so
  it's no longer necessary to check for it before calling

- Small functions in trigo moved as inline

* Fixed a bug in PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints when no footprint libraries
  are found when attempting to load footprints.
* Add a warning to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints to inform the user when
  a footprint library file cannot be found in any of the standard library
  search paths.
* Changed FOOTPRINT_INFO::m_padCount to unsigned to prevent signed/unsigned
  comparison compiler warnings.
* Put NestedSpace() function in netlist_reader.cpp inside conditional debug
  build statement to prevent warning in release builds.

In most case the assignment to null was not necessary since it was easily provable that the (local) variable wouldn't have referenced after that anyway.

* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
  changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
  NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
  or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
  without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
  to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
  use in low level objects.  Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.

Also removed EDA_DRAW_FRAME::OnGrid which was totally dead (empty and unused)

Pcbnew: load footprint from modview: Because modview allows user to choose the footprint library, the selected library is forced when the footprint is loaded.
I am not sure this is 100% better, but this new behavior has some advantages, mainly in the footprint editor (you can load a footprint outside the selected library)

Slightly retuned for compensating the new position.

Dynamic contrast for netname and pin numbers ('halo' text)
Handle netname drawing even on diagonal tracks

More layer classification cleanup

bit string version of property_tree. The ram resident structure of the ptree is
mostly compatible with one created using the xml_parser from
boost::property_tree, with slight differences in the way atoms are stored. The
result is you can use Format() to convert from xml to s-expression, but not the
other way around. You can write a simple s-expression beautifier in just a few
lines of code.

The main value however is the s-expression parser, i.e. Scan(), which is an
alternative to crafting a custom recursive descent parser for a particular
grammar. The tipping point depends on whether you want to read only a small
portion of a much larger document. If so, then using the ptree will likely be a
"faster to code" route. Documentation on how to navigate a ptree can be found on
the boost website and there are a number of examples in the
pcbnew/eagle_plugin.cpp file in this project. Powerful path navigation support
makes it easy to extract a subset of a ptree.

(when disabled they are shown as standard holes, a lot less distracting
than the previous fixed yellow color)

Better description for entities on right click menu and panel
Typo fixes and some comment reformats

Gerbview, layer manager: add option (popup menu) to always keep layers not visible but the active layer, even when the active layer is changed.
Pcbnew: fix swig warning for operator EDA_COLOR_T::++  (changed to function EDA_COLOR_T:: NextColor)

the spurious warning about stuff that couldn't be seen when changing
colours.
NOTE that the 'net name' layer is present and configurable but non used 
anywhere!

It crashes Adobe's own implementation of postscript!

All: change some texts and messages hard to translate, or not translatable (and some incorrect messages).
Pcbnew, layer manager: add option (popup menu) to always keep copper layers not visible but the active layer, even when the active layer is changed.
Usefull for multilayer ( more than 4 layers) PCBs.

In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.

Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset

Implemented the LAYER_NUM typedef (LAYER was already taken as a class name...) to represent a layer number.

- Renamed ReturnMaskLayer to GetLayerMask (since it's a plain getter)

Fix rounding issue when a double is stored in a wxConfig file (wxWidgets 2.9.4 store only 4 digits in mantissa).
A new inline function ConfigBaseWriteDouble( config, key,  double_value )  is used instead of config->Write(  key, double_value ) which store 12 digits

pcbnew: fix print format in THROW_IO_ERROR
        fix properties file export_vrml.cpp

* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
  support.  This should cover most dependency cases.

* Encapsulate most of the MODULE class.
* Start encapsulating the DIMENSION class.
* Lay some groundwork for EDA_TEXT encapsulation.
* Move cleverly hidden MODULE functions into class_module.cpp.
* Use std::swap to exchange TEXTE_PCB values for undo/redo.
* Remove unused members from MODULE class.
* The usual coding policy and documentation fixes.

* Fix all Doxygen warnings except polygon files.
* Add footprint library table tasks to TODO.txt.
* Add definition to drag.h to prevent nesting.
* Coding policy fixes.

Eeschema: fix broken  mirroring for texts and labels in block mirror X and Y (this fixes Bug #1135505)
Pcbnew: add in module popup menu an option to edit the footprint in Modedit (like in Eeschema for components)
minor icons enhancements.
