Any thoughts on this?

pns_router.cpp:212:
    else if( orient != 0.0 && orient != 180.0 )
    {
        // rotated pads are replaced by for the moment by circles due to my laziness ;)
        solid->SetShape( new SHAPE_CIRCLE( c, std::max( sz.x, sz.y ) / 2 ) );
        nonOrtho = true;
    }

It seems a rather big "bug" to me, to not be able to route around 
rotated pads within their true clearance. PCBs with footprints rotated 
45 degrees are actually somewhat common, and when treating the pads like 
circles it's not possible to route adjacent pads on most IC footprints. 
Any idea when this will be fully implemented?
