Bug Description
This patch provides IPC-D-356 netlist creation ability to PCB.
The units of the netlist is determined by the units set in the main window when the netlister is run (Metric for mm and Imperial for mils).
My testing was quite limited: LED2.pcb (from the examples) and a test design I created.
So let me know how it work for you...

Hi,
I converted the above patch to a git-patch for others to play with.
First impressions after patching, building and running pcb with this new feature:
1) I'm happy Jerome took the time and effort to code this long outstanding feature request (IIRC in the Sourceforge era).
2) The IPC-D-356 netlist export functionality is not implemented as a HID-exporter, nor as a plug-in for pcb.
3) Furthermore, when tested with the LED2 example, I can't find a netlist file generated by the exporter anywhere, nor is a file-chooser dialog opened to be able to chose a (different) name for the netlist file.
I poke around some more to see what can be done about 1) and 2).
Kind regards,
Bert Timmerman
