Working with an outside PCB assembly contractor...they need pick/place data
for the boards they're going to build for us.  Mostly no problem...extract
the location (origin and/or centroid) for all components/symbols on the
board.

However, we place our board fiducials as mechanical symbols, and these don't
show up in the extracta output using the following script:

component
#
comp_height
comp_part_number
comp_device_label
refdes
comp_package
sym_center_x
sym_center_y
sym_x
sym_y
sym_rotate
refdes_sort
#
End

Question is, how do I get the x/y location data for the fiducials, which the
assembler needs for alignment???
