gtkwave went great.  The main features of the 3.1.0 release (direct result
of SoC) were a new object-based variable/storage management scheme as well
as dumpfile reload functionality built on top of that.

Coming soon in the next release (post-SoC) is tabbed viewing a la Firefox
such that multiple waveforms can be loaded at once.  It's already in SF
CVS and I've been testing it.

So yes, SoC was quite successful for gtkwave--instead of being a simple
feature add it provided a foundation for future capabilities that weren't
possible before.
