Thanks! That's one of the advantages of text-based file formats. I
wrote a perl script to generate the ∗.pcb files from the given
spacing, then used pcb's command line options to export those files in
various formats. Once I had the perl script and a shell script
wrapper, I just run the wrapper and everything gets generated.

The only one that was manual was the sample picture, where I moved one
of the traces to a different layer to change the color.
