BoardCAD scripting

BoardCAD includes a jython script engine, and has a built-in jython console that allows you to quickly customise BoardCAD and extend its functionality. Some functionality, like gcode generation has been written directly in jython in order to make it easier to adapt the program to different types of machines.
