JP, is this desired behavior? (I.e. should plot functions draw in layer
color, or draw in plotter color?)

I need to fix the plot functions depending on global function
GetLayerColor() in eeschema, and so since I'll have to modify schematic
plotting functions anyway, I could change the behavior at the same time.
