Hi All,

Attached is a patch that does some minor code changes in the PcbNew Eagle
plugin which solves a few issues I encountered while testing the eagle
schematic plugin and project import feature.

The first was that some footprints such as Wifi trace antennas use graphic
lines to form the footprint, but the plugin restricted the import of lines
and other items to non-copper layers. I think that if you are prepared to
import Eagle boards into Kicad you should be prepared to check all your
footprints for issues and not have the plugin presuppose that lines on
copper layers shouldn't exist.

The second is matching the Eagle tValues and bValues layers with the kicad
Fabrication layers instead of the silkscreen layers, to match current
standard Kicad practive for component values.

The third is that some EDGE_MODULE board items were not being drawn due to
missing calls to EDGE_MODULE::SetDrawCoord().

Kind Regards
Russell
