-*** improved xpm handling
-We should:
-1) make a library out of ALL the xpm files, and
-2) develop a simple header file which declares ALL of them using conventional C/C++:
-  extern char * somename2_xpm[];
-  extern char * somename3_xpm[];
-  :

-This way the linker can bundle in the xpms that it has seen referenced.  I don't
-think seeing the extern declaration is cause to do this, it must actually be
-referenced.   I think this would be an easier way to manage xpms.

+*** improved xpm handling
+Move all *.xpm files into the bitmap/ directory, and add those additions to:
+  > include/bitmaps.h
+  > bitmaps/CMakeLists.txt as *.xpm
+Should there be any remaining *.h files that do #include ...*.xpm, kill those off
+and make sure that the referenced bit map's extern char* [] gets put into bitmaps.h
+and that the *.cpp files which were including the killed off *.h's now include
+bitmaps.h instead.

+A netclass should hold a list of nets, and a track width, via drill size and via

-rework zones so they are modifiable and so that the user does not
-need to enter tracks for thru hole pads or vias which connect to a zone.
-I propose a two step solution:
-1) interim enhancement: make zone edges retained in BRD file and make the
-edges editable. (DONE)
-2) final solution: get rid of requirement for tracks buried within a zone.
