use realistic colors for 5.2mm tact switches
as it turns out, step files are plain text -- so search and replace can
be used to modify colors reliably
search for colors:
grep COLOUR_RGB SKQGAF-realcolors.STEP|awk -F= '{print $2}'|sort|uniq -c
replace them with
sed -i "s/$OLDCOLOR/$NEWCOLOR/" SKQGAF-realcolors.STEP

redesign frontend with 5.2mm tact switches
reason being, those are flat enough so they don't protrude above the
oled. I'm thinking about putting a lasercut sheet of plexiglass as a
protecting case in front
i finally managed to convince joe su to relicense monitor_tinyscreen under a
free license. his model has now been included in hardpass' kicad project, and
he is credited inhardpass.3dshapes/README.md
i tried to do this before, but pcbnew just moved up the directory tree until it hit root (using ../), then used the absolute path again.
kicad.info forums suggested to use ${KIPRJMOD}, which works.

PCB cleanup silkscreen, fab-layer
on the fabrication layer all the values of the small components like
resistors and capactiors are now inside the footprints for easier
referencing.
the silk screen markings have been cleaned up as well, most notably
moved them off the footprints on hardpass, and aligned them neatly on
hardpass-sci, where some of the automatically placed ones were even on
top of solder pads.

update README to include adafruit license
forgive me, for i have sinned by not including the adafruit license text
for their awesome sd1306 footprint. the footprint was extracted from the
eagle library with kicad's library editor.

change crystal to smd
also added GND-netname to sim-mech-pads from within pcbnew. this will
sadly automatically be reverted everytime you load the netlist, as i
haven't bothered updating the footprint itself (then i'd have to add it
in the schematic too, and that part is already pretty cluttered)
