Hi all,

I am working on some code cleaning in pcb-rnd. In particular I'm adding 
options in ./configure to enable/disable libraries. While doing so I found 
that the code has optional dependency on libstroke:

https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/LibStroke

Digging up Changelogs, autotools files, etc, my impression is that it is 
not even possible to enable it (for years already?). It seems libstroke 
itself had its last release in 2001 which either means it's finished and 
is rock solid or just forgotten. Anyway, until I saw the #ifdefs, I didn't 
even know that this feature existed in PCB.

I'd happily remove dead code in pcb-rnd -  if it's really dead.


Does anyone use libstroke in pcb? Did anyone remember ever using it in 
pcb?


Regards,

Igor2

P.S. while polishing scconfig, I added support for the lesstif HID as it 
became easy. pcb-rnd can now be compiled with both lesstif and gtk even in 
the same executable; CLI line option --gui selects between them.
