Great news!  Thanks for the report!

Others may be using a CNC machine to product PCBs; I am not.  However,
I am highly interested in the EMC project (as a lurker), which
involves using a Linux box to control machine tools.  It's a huge
project with all kinds of software used for machine control.  I
believe they have a program to convert .dxf to G code to run a mill,
or they at least have pointers to one (maybe part of BRL-CAD?).
Here's a link to the EMC project:
