Should be already fixed in the branch.

Currently it is workarounded. The problem is caused by the fact that 
SWIG does not support nested classes, so right now erroneous parts are 
surrounded with #ifndef SWIG..#endif. There is another solution 
suggested by the SWIG documentation 
(http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/SWIGPlus.html#SWIGPlus_nested_classes), but 
it seems even worse to me.

I was not able to reproduce the bug (tried out a few boards in the demo 
folder, including pic_programmer). I loaded a file, switched canvas a 
few times, moved modules from their default location and back and I 
could not notice any wrong ratsnest line. Could you post a screenshot, 
so I know to which places should I put more attention? Does it occur 
right after a file is loaded or do you perform some editing first?
