Well, for me it was that SVG & PDF remained in B&W until I called SetColorMode(true)
on the plotter.

Ok, now that I have some minutes again will restart my track down,
it would be nice to find a way to force colors at plot time. 


I'm thinking about some pcb-diff tool that takes git/bzr/svn revisions and renders
a diff image of the PCB with marks on the zone that changed, it shouldn't be 
very complicated :) pcb->svg->bitmap  pcb->svg->bitmap,   xoring both, and then making
some beatufilly marked images .
