Chris Palmer d2874a0531 Moved washers.scad from screws.scad to nuts.scad.
Moved screw_insert() from inserts.scad to screw.scad.
Changed most includes of inserts.scad to use insert.scad.
Removed linear_bearings, iecs, rockers and microswitches from lib.scad as
already included by other vitamins.

//! Corner brackets using threaded inserts for fastening three sheets together at right angles.
//! Defaults to M3 but other screws sizes can be specified provided they have inserts defined.
//!
//! See [butt_box](#Butt_box) for an example of usage.
//!
//! Note that the block with its inserts is defined as a sub assembly, but its fasteners get added to the parent assembly.
//!
//! Specific fasteners can be omitted by setting a side's thickness to 0 and the block omitted by setting ```show_block``` to false.
//! This allows the block and one set of fasteners to be on one assembly and the other fasteners on the mating assemblies.
//!
//! Star washers can be omitted by setting ```star_washers``` to false.
