If the new limit is 'fixed' i.e. jumping from 16 to 32 or something like
that, the coding is almost trivial, just renumber everything in the
include file and fix the legacy i/o routines. The only things that
matter for copper layers is that they must be contiguous and starting
from zero.

A 'variable' number of copper layers (i.e. not preallocated in a range)
would be probably a little more difficult...
