I have modified the Eagle parser to store coordinates using nanometers
stored as integers instead of millimeters stored in a double. Now the
coordinate string is manually processed to a value in nanometers without
invoking strtod() or similar conversion functions, so there should be no
rounding errors anymore.

Thank you for noting, should be fixed now.

Russell has fixed this.

If there are no other problems, I would like to merge the import plugin.
Fixed and rebased code is available in my launchpad git repository [1].
