gEDA-dev: PCB DBus support code - 4

[Peter Clifton]

Much work later, and I now have what I'd be prepared to accept as a
working version of DBus integration for PCB.

The patches I posted before are still necessary. It works under Lesstif
and GTK, (and any other suitable hid you'd care to invent which has
mainloop hooking functions).

I may still need to patch PCB to allow return-codes from its actions,
however if we are prepared to accept all operations succeed - we don't
ask PCB to load a file which has errors etc.., xgsch2pcb's  main
requirement - of synchronisation is achieved.

Once this is in PCB, xgsch2pcb (DBus version) can progress to where it
was originally intended.

The opportunities for IPC are now far greater, and I hope to see similar
work in gschem able to access its scheme scripting. (I have no plans to
implement that just yet, as I'm enjoying tinkering with the drawing and
data-structures).
