Hi Lachlan,

I was the main developer of the Eagle schematic import plugin and I know
the layout of the Pcbnew Eagle import code pretty well. So If you can
describe further the errors you are seeing that would be great, even if its
just links to the original Eagle files and screen shots of the offending
areas.

Wayne: I'm thinking we to start with to change the text of the Import
Project menu option from "Eagle Cad" to something like "Eagle CAD 6.x+
XML".

Kind Regards
Russell
