Unfortunately I missed the draft cad/librnd from the initial email
below, so attach it now.
I have also fixed duplicate WANTLIB entries and added compilation
options to librnd, sch-rnd pcb-rnd and camv-rnd to compile their many
import-export options as plugins rather than static built-ins.
Attached:

cad/sch-rnd Schematic Capture
cad/pcb-rnd PC Board Editor
cad/cam-rnd CAM (Gerber, Excellon,...) File Viewer
cad/route-rnd External Autorouter
cad/librnd 2D CAD engine library

devel/fungw scripting function gateway
devel/genht hash table library

If anyone has time to test and give feedback that would be great.
