No, I haven't pointed this out. I usually build geda-gaf with this
option and hence my suggestion to try it. I tried to build geda
without this option afterwards and it didn't work too.

I don't like that you promote it without any consensus with other
geda-gaf devs wrt basic project direction.

I don't want to have two code bases with parallel functionality in
one repository. This prevents users from contributing as they
don't know where to contribute better.

My intention is to develop current C/Scheme codebase. I am going
to remove any other language based additions (usually supported by
nobody) from the repository.

I suggest you to make a clone of geda-gaf and name it as you wish,
say, geda-xorn, put it on git.geda-project.org and administrate it
(that is, do what you want as its owner). That would be more honest
and we wouldn't lose those users who doesn't know where to
go.

I haven't complained, it was just my guess (which was right, BTW).
