Roadmap 0.9, CadCraft plan drafting

PLAN2D.1 Hatch that stays with its boundary, and a hatch editor

Asked: a hatch editor that works, "when moving the boundary box the hatch will move with it. Similar to illustrator". The assoc flag existed but did nothing.

Built in the lab: HATCH links to what bounds it (closed objects, or the objects round a picked area). Move, turn or scale the boundary: the hatch and pattern follow. Reshape it: the hatch is worked out again. Move the hatch alone: the boundary comes too. Link ends with a note when the shape no longer closes. Copies get their own link. HATCHEDIT (HE). The link is saved in DWG and DXF 2000. Also fixed: MOVE left a hatch's pattern behind on any hatch.

Not done: links made in other programs are not read (HATCHEDIT Link does it by hand); DXF R12 has no hatch object.
