mounting holes

these would have to be added as "obstacles" when drawing traces or autorouting. Would probably want a property for changing the diameter.
What's the difference between a mounting hole and a drill hole?

need a way to define holes in the fzp/svg files...

How about a holes layer? Then a part could have a set of svg elements (probably just circles at first) which would be that part's holes. The autorouter would have to learn to route around holes (effectively, to treat them as obstacles). We could provide a hole part, that was simply a part that only had an svg element in the holes layer; it could have the radius as a parameter, and so be generated on-the-fly. Gerber translation would look to the svg elements in the holes layer rather than relying on the present hack of using color.

Actually, afaict, the gerber converter is looking at every circle in the copper layer and deriving holes from that. There is no hack using color to determine a hole, and there are no parts containing holes.

groundplane generator will also have to leave space around holes
