90% of the work is laying down tracks exactly parallel and at the same
distance. Meandering to correct the difference could be done later with
a script or something (in fact that would be mostly like the first
microwave tool). Trimming and rounding corners to minimize reflections
it's an art in itself:P

It works, maybe he didn't notice it.

Using a netclass with the right clearance and the 'lean to track'
feature is not too difficult to lay a d-pair by hand (interclass
clearance *would* be useful, for that).
