It doesn't pay to try and be too smart as it just confuses people.
When the bugs come in that it doesn't dim I'll just be marking them
as "as designed". :)

For some reason, a footprint loaded from the fp viewer did not have its
view parameters fully updated (view bounding box not moved to the right place).
The fix ensure these parameters are updated.
This uncovered a memory corruption bug in MODULE's move operator,
several bugs in MODULE's move and copy constructors, and a bug in
BOARD's GetItem() call.
It also bumps the file format for saving/restoring groups inside
footprints.
Also simplifies groups so that other areas of code that have to know
about them at least don't have to know as much. One of the simplifications
is to not worry so much about empty groups until save time; others are in
the access logic to parent groups.
Also simplifies user model slightly by removing Merge and Flatten
(which are just ungroup/group and ungroup/ungroup/.../group).
Also allows multiple groups to have the same name. This is useful when
using groups for a classification system.

These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
1) better load-balancing for deferred zones
2) sort zones by priority before filling
3) retire BOARD::GetZoneList() which had a horrible performance profile
4) implement a zone bounding box cache
5) better checks for IsCancelled() so long fills can be exited

You can now enable and disable snap to grid when drawing/editing across
all apps. You can also tie snap to grid to the visibility of the grid
to allow rapid enable/disable via grid display.
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

ADDED new rectangle graphics tool for PCBNew and Footprint Editor.
Also adds rectangle tool to both Footprint Editor and PCBNew Place
menus.
The Aux Origin tool can come back once we have multi-select toobar
buttons.
Also collapses an unnecessary level out of the auxOrigin and gridOrigin
settings.
