Re: gEDA-user: Win32 build with native printing support (via Cairo)

[Kai-Martin Knaak <kmk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just tried the gschem--gsch2pcb--pcb work-flow on winXP with a small, but 
real world project. There were some show-stoppers:

* gsch2pcb crashed with backtrace unless m4 is explicitly disabled 
  with --skip-m4 . Unfortunately, WinXP does not allow to copy/paste 
  in the CMD-window. So I put a screenshot to this URL:
	http://lilalaser.de/tmp/errormessage_m4.pdf


* If pcb is run without an argument, the default font was reported 
  to be found, but seemingly not loaded. A save did not contain the 
  usual alphabet of letters. These were the lines emitted in the log
  window:

File 'C:\Programme\gEDA\Projekte\Schrittmotor\steuerung.pcb' has no font 
information, using default font

Note:  home directory is "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Femto"
The gtk gui currently ignores "grey50"as part of a menuitem resource.
Feel free to provide patches

* gsch2pcb produced no useful foobar.new.pcb
  The file contained footprint names rather than element commands.
  This is foobar.new.pcb:
