Aside from the unrelated to the commit-messages changes I've found typical 
in the toporouter code...

I would expect that the purpose of moving the predicate computation to 
runtime (rather than at build time) lets us cross-compile for other target 
architectures (e.g. Win32), without having to know what the results will be 
on that architecture at build time.

But we shouldn't be conflicting with a system install libgts. (I guess we 
probably _are_ conflicting from what you said), but we should get away with 
just statically linking our local copy of that library.

Needs some love to the build scripts I guess.
