I just tried to build this, and I have noticed that the combobox
showing the layer on the top toolbar has an issue. When you click it
you get a very small scroll list, in old gerbview it fills the entire
height of the screen.

> 4. Layers can be deleted individually.
> 6. Trashed block move because it totally made sense for a gerber **viewer**.
> 7. Unless gerber X2 attributes are specified, layer names in the

> 8. Move gerber drawing items under gerber layers rather than globally

> 9. Eliminated use of DHEAD/DLIST in favor of std::list for drawing items.

> 11. Added show/hide others context menu items for layers
