OH -- I was going to make --enable-toporouter-output an option for
gentoo (USEFLAG toporouter-output). I have found no hint that this is
for debugging only before. I have just compiled for motif GUI with
--enable-toporouter-output. Compiles fine, and ldd command shows 
MD64-X2 pcb # ldd /var/tmp/portage/sci-electronics/pcb-20091103/image/usr/bin/pcb |grep cairo
	libcairo.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007f4f198e6000)

But if this is for debugging only I think we should drop this option.

Best regards

Stefan
