Hi all,

reflecting to a thread we had back in May:

http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=geda-user/2016/05/11/19:35:07

I've finially "finished" the writeup, it is online at:

http://repo.hu/projects/articles/minilibs/

Please note that I don't want to convice anyone about anything, I am only 
describing the background of some of my choices (which also affect 
pcb-rnd). I especially DO NOT propose any change to pcb, gschem, geda/gaf, 
etc.

The writeup is about what I think programmers should consider when 
deciding for/against using a library.

I regard the appendix as an ever-growing list. In this first public 
version it lists repo.hu projects because those were the easiest to 
collect and categorize. If you have any favorite C library that is small, 
free (as in speech), portable and tries to solve one problem only, please 
let me know so I can review and include it in the table.

Long term I'd like to build this table to be definitive in the sense that 
if a programmer wants to look for alternatives for any popular large 
library, the table can offer links.

Regards,

Igor2
