[Xastir] CAD object transmissions?

[Craig Anderson]

HI all,
	We had talked a bit about this functionality but I
don't remember anyone saying any specifics about putting
this into the code.  How do all the developer folks feel
about this?  Is this something that is planned?  Rejected?
Cogitating on it?  Already hacked in?  :-)

Thanks very much,
Craig
