You can get my git repository at:
git://www.wpsoftware.net/pcb-andrew.git

Right now there are no changes pushed, though. I just threw away (well, archived)
a bunch of work extending the GUI because it was turning into a huge mess. Better
I clean up the existing code before extending it.

Well, I am converting the top-level window to its own widget, rather than
using a stock GtkWindow and tacking stuff onto it. That way I can migrate
a lot of the global variables to member variables, pass more things as
parameters, and use the 'const' keyword a lot more.
