ack. 
Patches are the result of non-trivial efforts. The contributers 
deserve some attention. Even a short note, that the patch will 
not applied is way better than let the patch rot until forever 
and a day. IMHO, this kind of ignorance is a sure way to drive
away potential developers. See bug 699454 by Ineiev:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/699454
The patch was filed in October 2008. danmc asked for some clarification 
in November. Ineiev responded in December and updated the patch.
In February somebody not logged in suggested to split the patch 
into smaller blobs. Ineiev resonded the next day and provided a 
series of patches two weeks later in March 2009. 
Then nothing until today.

Not another semi fork, please. It is already a pain to have the 
OpenGL only in Peter Cliftons version.
