AutoTrace has several weaknesses so we have to do some redesigns. One will be to add a new way to handle lists. This could be either done using STL or glib....
... Could you elaborate more on this? I know this is mainly a problem of mine, since I've not been able to study autotrace sources deeply, but knowing where...
If you met a trouble with autofig during building autotrace, forgive me. You might fail to build autofig because its Makefile.am is broken. I've updated its...
