[sdiy] pcb / circuit layout software

[Chris MacDonald]

Thanks Theo.  I just looked for such a utility but didn't see one.  I
only have the trial version however.

I should probably mention to all that I just browsed through some of the
unofficial users group archives for Circuitmaker
(http://www.bugs-n-fixes.com/muugarch.htm) and they seem to be filled
with unhappy posts about poor tech support and no bug fixing, so buyer
beware!
