bomgen.php

Generate an Excel BOM from an Altium or PCAD CSV-exported BOM.
Automatically remove components which have the NOPOP attribute set to NOPOP.

Note: Altium group together all components that have the same Comment field,
so in addition to setting the NOPOP attribute, you must put an asterisk "*"
before the Comment field so that Altium put the NOPOP components on a
separate line.
