Miguel and Others,

The "Spiral" EMP generator here is something that is best done as an internal Python
script within Pcbnew IMO.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/files/Pcbnew%20file%20utilities/

This would give someone the ability to rapidly tweak the functionality without rebuilding
KiCad.

This is a typical application of scripting, and would make a good sample script if
somebody has the time to make this happen. 

I am not certain that Pcbnew can yet invoke a script, it may be that we are still using
topmost script with the DLL/DSO underneath.  But we need to get there eventually in any
case. 

I like this spiral feature as a sample script when somebody can get to it.  I like it
better as a script than as C++ so it can be tuned and customized rapidly.
