Yes, this would be a very welcome addition. Is there a pure C
library with this stuff available somewhere? Java or C++
isn't an option for inclusion with gEDA.

There happens to live a git repo here:

Thanks for the link, Bert. I fear this is a bit too complex for me to  
justify putting it in the next few days.

  Have you ever tried the g-code exporter included in PCB?
