Read my other mail. I took out the model part from BASE_SCREEN and
relocated it to SCH_SCREEN; for pcbnew it goes in BOARD. BOARD is pretty
much 100% model, SCH_SCREEN is about 70% model and BASE_SCREEN is
a mess:P

At the moment I consider SCH_SCREEN the eeschema model; and anyway I'm
working mostly on pcbnew so the issue is on the common ancestors.

Still there are some access path too convoluted for my tastes (i.e. too
much stuff to be passed from the caller because it's unavailable, even
if it should be). At least pcbnew is not multipage otherwise it would be
a lot worse!
