[Cirilo Bernardo <cirilo_bernardo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have rewritten the IDF export code to use the new IDF library. Unfortunately the library is static at the moment since I can't get cmake to link it and I just can't work out what's going wrong.

Changes:
+ export_idf.cpp now uses the newer IDF code base. Except for better error
  reporting the users should not see anything new. However, the new code base
  makes it trivial to extend the export routine if users have a need for
  exporting more IDF entities. This could be useful if/when other technical
  layers are implemented.

+ the old code (idf_common.cpp/h, idf.cpp/h) has been removed

+ some bugs in the IDF code have been fixed, including the map/multimap
  bug reported a few days ago.

Testing:
 The export code was tested on 7 different existing projects of mine and the
output compared to the older code to ensure there were no unintended differences.


The patch name is 'kicad_idf_export.patch' and is available from:

https://github.com/cbernardo/kicad-patches

Next step: make the VRML exporter use the improved code in the idftools
directory.

cheers,
Cirilo
