Inspired by the detailing around pins on that PCB, I wounder how easy it
would be to make PCB output like the attached glcd-clearances.png? (This
is a re-coloured zoom in on a couple of the pins from the above
project).

PCB's output, pcb_clearances.png shows sharp copper edges where clipping
against a polygon occurs. This can often leave thin slivers of track
which may / may not connect in production.

If its possible to detect these thin slivers and cut them out (if below
some minimum width), possible rounding their ends as shown?

Regards,

Peter C
