Hi Britton and Jason,

Try the "home/bert/cycdrag" branch for cycling through which part to drag.

It still has an unresolved segfault condition in it, on which Igor and I 
were working until a high priority incident (private) developed at the 
end of November, and this absorbed all my free cycles (and more).

The "home/bert/onpoint" branch highlights the trace involved when 
hovering over an endpoint (node under the cursor) of joining trace parts.

This is an assistance function for snapping the correct endpoint of a trace.

The highlight has the best contrast with --disable-gl (no xor of trace 
color implemented in gl ... yet).

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
