Undoubtly, compatibility issues will add up as these two repos diverge
further. You have quite a number of nice new features in there, but also
miss all the goodies of the last two years.

Totally ignoring your wish to keep your work seperate I fetched this
repo and applied all of it to a new branch in the central repo. After
rebasing to master (catching up 2 years of work), you get this:

http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/log/?h=pcb-rnd

Rebasing all this stuff was quite a bit of work, took me a night shift.
But I fixed some whitespace along the way and made sure every single
commit compiles.

The simple reason for not extracting this flag-saving thing is, I feel
totally uncomfortable doing things which ease seperation of the
community. In case the current trend continues, we one day have to ask
people about which task they want to do, then to point them for each
task in a different direction:

"G-code export?"
--- "See what you get here."
"STEP export?"
--- "See the repo there."
"Setting a solder jumper?"
--- "Look at that."
--- "And make sure to always have ONLY ONE VARIANT of pcb installed!"
"Export G-code with a solder jumper?"
--- Oh, can't be done".

BTW., Latest PCB can still be compiled without OpenGL. I found such a
HTML file somewhere...


Cheers,
Markus
