Look around the code, try to compile the svn version, play with it :)

If somebody implements it, there will be PCB support...

In the current state the codebase should be cleaned up, because it has some
issues. Also it would be useful to make the program more modular.
 Currently I'm busy with integrating Eigen in the project, so we won't have
to write our equation solving, matrix handling classes. After that I'd like
to create a well defined interface between the GUI and the simulator, so the
GUI could be be ported to Qt4/KDE4.

Same as for PCB, still this one looks easier.

ktechlab does real-time simulation: if you change something, you can see the
result immediately. I don't know about any simulator engine that can do
that.
