gEDA-dev: g_hash_table_remove_all

[Timmerman, Bert]

Hi Peter and all,

FWIW, maybe a table of dependancies with allowed versions could be made
and stated on one of the geda wiki developer pages.

If this table is to exist, it may or may not reduce this kind of
oversights in the future, it would at least give a clear picture on what
to use.

It has it's drawbacks: if, for instance, gtk is allowed to be <=1.6 in
the future the table needs to be maintained (by whoever pushes the
dependency version upwards).

Just my EUR 0.02

Kind regrads,

Bert Timmerman.

That would be me.  Sorry -- and yes, it was an oversight.  We definitely
need 
a way to audit which library functions are in use!

I'm afraid I can't fix it right now, but I'll try and get a fix out this

evening (UK time).
