True, the patch definitely needs some polishing before it hits the
release. How about merging it with the "Layout PCB" entry in Tools menu?
- If there's no PCB in the project yet, create an empty one (the menu
says 'Create a PCB from Schematic')
- When there's already a PCB document attached, update the existing one,
opening pcbnew if necessary.
