Hi Wayne,

Before waiting for V6, there are a few things that must be fixed.

- Minor issues:
* I am thinking the layers now used in DRC should be not removable (edge cut, courtyards and in the
future margin layer)
I have a basic fix for that.
* non copper layers used in footprints can be removed  (without fortunately destroying the
footprint) without warning: I have a fix to warn the user then removed non copper layers are in use
in a footprint.

-Not so minor issues:
Multilayers items (blind/buried vias, keepout zones) are incorrectly handled:
* In GAL mode, removed Multilayers items are still visible after deletion.
* In all modes: because undo is not handled, if a removed item (for instance a track) was previously
modified (and therefore in the undo list), and if a undo command is made, Pcbnew crashes.
At least the undo/redo list should be cleared.
