Why not use something intended for the purpose?

Lots of people on the list are using Eagle.

I use  http://www.cadint.com/  which offers a free download version and 
a reasonable upgrade path to their unlimited version (identical 
software, different numbers of "nodes" at different levels).  Great 
interface between the schematic side and the layout side.  Idiotically 
easy generation of Gerbers.
