I've just taken a look at this, and whilst initially confused by the
acronym "DE" (thinking Differential Equation), think that you've done a
brilliant job here.

I can foresee using this in the future (assuming I can write a decent
enough goal function for a working power system).

Many thanks!

PS. Werner.. do you want me to send you the .spec file for xgsch2pcb?
