Source and documentation for Kicad 3D Models, source version 0.8

Files:
	kc3d.pdf:  Latest tutorial on using the Python bindings.
	kicad3dmodels_src_20121210.tar.gz: source tarball

Other relevant documents: For a brief tutorial on VRML2.0 in
  KiCAD, see kicad_3d_vrml.pdf in the source_v0.5 directory.

Notes:
	* A number of bugs have been fixed
	* Classes Hdrbase, GenHdr, and Hole have been made
		more flexible. As a result of the changes,
		the Python bindings have also changed.
	* New models have been introduced for axial diodes;
		do35 is a model for glass encapsulated
		axial diodes which conform to the DO-35
		package specification. GenDiode is a
		generic axial diode; the model has been used
		to generate 3D models for diode packages
		DO-41 (1N4001), DO-201 (1N5820), and
		DO-204 (IR80SQ035).
	* Python scripts have been added to generate:
		a. DO-35 packaged axial glass encapsulated diodes
		b. DO-41 packaged diodes
		c. DO-201 packaged diodes
		d. DO-204 packaged diodes
		e. Samtec female headers, series SS, ESS, HSS,
			SD, and ESD.
		f. Samtec low-profile female headers, series
			SL and SLD.
	* kc3d.pdf: the guide and tutorial has been updated
