Long term

gerbview, like any other kicad program, should probably be using

"rt" as the fopen() mode.  Won't that make the fgets() code read in
lines of text without the \r in a platform independent way ?

No doubt gerbview needs a lot of work, and I'm not even sure what's
there is to be considered a good starting point.  I've spent some time
on it, but have always had the feeling I was building on sand.
