Macro square_multicoil(M, N, a, b, r, d, round) allows creation of square
coils a x b, with M layers of N twists, such as those of electric
transformers. Round coils can be simulated with a = b, r ~ a/2 - d.

Wire in coil is carefully wound from beginning to the end and it
electrically fits requirements for conducting current, it is not
geometrically simulated.

Toroid coil will come soon is separate macro.

This macro was inspired by a project of Institute "Rudjer Boskovic" and
Faculty of Graphic Arts, University of Zagreb.

This macro is LGPL-ed. This means you can use it even in commercial designs,
