Dear developers,

as of yesterday, sources for the GNU Triangulation Surface library (GTS)
are no longer part of gEDA/pcb sources. GTS is a well established
package, packaged for the Linux distros and easily available elsewhere.

For developers and packagers this means:

- Noticeable shorter compile time.

- Additional dependency on the package. On Debian/Ubuntu the build time
dependency is "libgts-dev". Configure checks for its presence.

- Additional runtime dependency is "libgts-0.7-5".

- A smaller resulting package.

- On not package based platforms you may have to build GTS first (or
disable the toporouter).


Cheers,
Markus
