fxeagle: Eagle Model Files

A file-based interface, converting to nodes, polylines, polygons, arcs and text without column attributes.

Model files contain fully-defined symbology, so the default fx symbology is never used, although eagle symbology (numbered) can be mapped to Fire symbology via a configuration file specified as a program command-line option:

-cfg=<config file>.

Nothing is known about the projection or units of measure of Eagle data. These must be set by the client if required.
