There is a newlib document (not a complete gPCB manual) here:

http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/

The document source (OOO .sxw format) is available from there, as well
as .pdf.  If somebody is interested in making a contribution to the
gEDA project, a quickie project is to take the .sxw version of the
doc, do some fact checking, and perhaps add some material we may have
missed.  I eagerly await patches to the doc.
