I see that pcb is not one of the friends in the gaf package. I think its time 
to rename the PCB with gtk to another name, like gpcb, and become it one of 
the friends of gEDA. Indeed, the CVS repository would be better to sit on 
seul than sf because it is the home of gEDA.
As I see, that is a fork, not just a branch...
