The zig-zag line is defined partly in objects/standard/zigzagline.[ch]
and in lib/orth_conn.[ch]. orth_conn defines functionality for all lines
of this type (i.e. also in other sheets) and is where the handling of
adding/removing segments occurs. Note that the autorouting system can
cause segments to appear and disappear frequently. Handling which
segments a line connected to a zigzagline should go to when it changes
like that is ... tricky.
