The pcbfwd backend works with the current version of gEDA/gaf, as should
any other backend, shipped or not.  The breakage we talked about was
related to a backend which required a patched gnetlist binary, something
which should be avoided if possible.  I think that if there is any
consequence from this, it is that we should more actively include
contributed backends into the main gEDA/gaf repository and add them to the
regular test suite.


The whole point of that backend is that it is shipped with pcb, and can be
updated as pcb needs change from version to version.

It implicitly relies (of course), on the netlister API being relatively
stable, which had in the past been long standing geda policy.

You'd need to go to Bert (pcb project lead) for the official answer, but I
suspect out position here is "please don't" pull this particular netlist
backend "upstream" to geda, since it lives in pcb.
