+ libgdgeda is a special version of gd 1.6, specifically created for
+gEDA. The changes from the original gd library are:
+
+ - gdImageArc arcs rotate counterclockwise (as opposed to the
+ original clockwise rotation).
+ - mtables.c is now build like any other C file (ie it's not
+ #included). Created mtables.h which contain the prototypes
+ for the math lookup tables.
+ - Created libgdgeda-config, which is a sh script. This script
+ is used in gEDA to determine the various build parameters of
+ libgdgeda (cflags and ldflags).
+ - index.html was moved into the doc directory
+ - Updated source from gd 1.6 which removes support for gifs and
+ adds support for pngs. Now requires libpng.
+ - Updated source from gd 1.6.3
+ - Updated to libtool 1.3.3
+
+ It is recommended that people wanting to use gd in their own
+programs use the original gd (unless you happen to need some of the
+modifications that were made).
