  Takes a little work to get everything installed and set up, but once 
you do it's fairly easy to use.  My boards are often irregular shaped 
and need manual placement, but I assume the auto works fine too if you 
mainly use rectangular boards.  Board updates then run gerbmerge then 
pull it into gcprevue ends up being fairly painless after you get the 
gerbmerge config file set up for the boards you want..
  While there's probably a ton of commands, I'd imagine just like HPGL 
most packages really only use a few for output to keep things simple, so 
likely you'll have it working without too much problem.  The secondary 
installs and config file setup for gerbmerge are likley to take more 
time, it's still kind of an in-development level tool.  Seems to work 
very well once it's running though.
