pcb-rnd + sch-rnd alien formats

Importers for proprietary file formats in Ringdove EDA

Ringdove EDA is a modular, portable Electronics Design Automation toolkit (primarily for Printed Circuit Board design) with a distinctive focus on the UNIX philosophy. The two flagship subprojects are sch-rnd (schematics capture) and pcb-rnd (printed circuit board editing). Because of the modular code and reduced dependencies, both projects are highly portable, both in time (old, present and future systems) and in workflows (interactive GUI, interactive CLI or headless automated processing). Ringdove also strives to support file formats of other EDA software, especially for loading proprietary formats, making existing/legacy hardware designs more accessible to the Open Source community.
