Convert a geda/pcb footprint to animator script
Synposis
fp2anim [options] [inputfile]
Decsription
fp2anim converts a footprint to a script that can be run through animator(1). It's main use is to have a automated, light-weight footprint preview generator on hosts where installing pcb-rnd would be too expensive (e.g. on web servers).
If inputfile is not specified, fp2anim reads its STDIN for the footprint.
