    This source file implements export and import capabilities to the
    specctra dsn file format.  The grammar for that file format is documented
    fairly well.  There are classes for each major type of descriptor in the
    spec.

    Since there are so many classes in here, it may be helpful to generate
    the Doxygen directory:

    $ cd &ltkicadSourceRoot&gt
    $ doxygen

    Then you can view the html documentation in the &ltkicadSourceRoot&gt/doxygen
    directory.  The main class in this file is SPECCTRA_DB and its main
    functions are LoadPCB(), LoadSESSION(), and ExportPCB().

    Wide use is made of boost::ptr_vector&lt&gt and std::vector&lt&gt template classes.
    If the contained object is small, then std::vector tends to be used.
    If the contained object is large, variable size, or would require writing
    an assignment operator() or copy constructore, then boost::ptr_vector
    cannot be beat.
