autoplace_v3.ulp

/* Simple autoplace ulp based upon component position in schematic
* this ULp was origianlly written by one of the CADSOFT team I believe
* apologies for lack of full reference and acknoledgement
* run the ULP in the sch window and run place.scr in BRD
* changing the scale parameter will produce tighter/looser grouping
* Ideally stick in a pop-up window to select scale and x/y offset at some time
