gEDA-user: deprecating gschem2pcb and PCBboard backend

[Dan McMahill <dan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anyone have any objections to deprecating the gschem2pcb script and the 
PCBboard gnetlist backend that is used by that script?

As far as I know nobody uses either of those anymore.  Note that I'm 
talking about "gschem2pcb" and *not* "gsch2pcb", the latter being what 
probably everyone uses.

Why you ask?  Because gschem2pcb doesn't really offer anything that 
gsch2pcb doesn't and the latter is what's used, developed, and 
supported.  The existence of the former I think just serves to confuse 
new users and PCBboard additionally is there to annoy developers by it 
being in the test suite.  The PCBboard backend is very similar to the 
gsch2pcb backend but again, the latter is seeing development and the 
former isn't.
