What's wrong?

Hi all,
I'm really out of Googling now. It's been about one full week I
tried to find the software I need, but no hope. So here I am.

What I need is a SIMPLE, primitive if you want, vector graphics
file editor capable of generating Gerber files. Just that.

I do not need automatic PCB-routing software nor anything fancy,
just a simple GUI based program that lets me draw a PCB by hand,
and that outputs a Gerber file (better if extended Gerber).

A truly appreciated bonus would be if it let me vectorize a TIF
(or other raster format) image as starting point.

Kindest regards,
Mike Forrest

This has just been posted on s.e.cad for converting bitmaps to Gerber:

I haven't tried it.
