gEDA-user: gerber to .dxf converter

[phil at plastitar.com]

Has there ever been a discussion about exporting hard cad files from PCB 
... such as dxf or even a closed proprietary format?

It's common to want to move PCB layouts into cad for chassis layout 
work.  What would be involved in giving PCB this feature?  As I 
understand it, dxf is open.  I don't really know if there are gnu or 
open code modules for creating and working with them--I'm clearly over 
my head here, but gosh it would be handy.
