Hi,

I've been working on adding support for entering stackup information and 
using that info when length tuning traces.

Some screenshots:

Patch here(warning, back up any .kicad_pcb files before you save. The 
format is changed to include layer heights):
http://j-software.dk/kicad/kicad_stackup.patch

Getting it into the meander placer required a bit of hacking to process 
vias and find all segments connecting to it. That part is a bit ugly, 
but it works. Also the length calculation is duplicated for each tool 
variant. Unifying those in a single place would be great. For now my 
patch only modifies the single trace length tuner.

Best Regards,
Jeppe Johansen
