Xorn is a concept / a set of libraries which I wrote (mainly) for gEDA.

It is not a netlister (tough I may have contributed to the confusion by 
working on gnetlist inside the Xorn repository).

It is also not a fork.  The idea of Xorn is to help improve gEDA, not to 
replace it with something else.
