Didn't notice that in fact where the same stuff!

Anyway, another format couldn't hurt... it seem pretty harmless to
integrate (since for pad there are dedicate functions...) and I don't
see any revolution needed for that.

Also the added interface needed (for example to 'set' the current layer
and attributes and stuff) could be used for DXF too (to make true
multilayer DXF, for example or annotate it, just an idea).

Of course there must remain the possibility of a 'plain' RS274X gerber,
since I doubt that most processor correctly parse the X2 extensions
(even if technically it should be backward compatible, gerber parser are
very nitpicky...)
