Re: gEDA: Re: Patches for PCB automake/autoconf system

[Stephen Meier <smeier@AlchemyResearch.com>]

1)  geda tools are written voluntarily.... so i say.... let he who 
writes the code pick the tools they use and let the users select the the 
elements of geda that they use.... 
2)  even for geda it isn't unknown that two utilities are similar 
tclspice and ngspice for example. 
3)  even linux comes with a number of different configuration tools 
menuconfig xconfig oldconfig

While I do agree that since there are a limited number of developers we 
should strive to develop already existing modules rather then rewrite 
them from scratch. It isn't manditory.

If the only tool a developer knows in cpm and they produce a better 
widget then more power to them.
