I don't want to join another war here either, but CGAL is not all benefit 
but has a cost as well. Sloccount on include/ in CGAL says 578k lines of 
code. It's more than 5 times bigger than the whole PCB src/, 
including the hids and everything. And it's all C++, while PCB code that 
needs these calculations are mostly in C.
