Excellent! I started doing it myself, but as I'm quite unfamiliar with 
the PNS code I was having trouble and figured a better use of my time 
would be fixing things up in an area I'm more familiar with for now. 
Nice to hear someone already got it.

I respectfully disagree. It's not just PNS, it's all of GAL - even just 
choosing "Highlight collisions" you still can't route that unless you 
disable DRC or switch to legacy. If GAL is indeed supposed to be a full 
replacement for legacy, I'd want to be at a point where all work can be 
done in GAL before release.
