I fixed some more bugs, and got the code working well enough so that all tools 
work (zoom too). The text tool still doesn't handle special keys (backspace, 
etc), but at least you can type text.

You can see it in action at <http://home.wowway.com/~mandasoft/xcircuit-3.png>. 
I've also uploaded the source code svn repository to
<http://home.wowway.com/xcircuit-3.tar.gz> -- this a file-based svn repo, not a 
tarball.

I think I will tackle bugs first. Things known not to work are:
- special keys during text input,
- the library viewer -- it displays empty pages,
- scrollbar dragging,
- display pan is untested.

Then the runtime menu changes have to be brought back from the dead, then the 
popups. Last would be de-unixification -- enough to get the code to compile 
under Windows, that is.

I think that the basic port, working on all platforms where Qt 4.7 works, will 
be ready in a reasonable amount of time. This will leave pretty much all of the 
original code intact, or at least architecturally still in the C-style. Things 
that plainly don't apply anymore (Tk-related code, OpenGL code) will be 
removed. The ghostscript background renderer will deoupled from X, although I 
have no clue how well it works under windows. Perhaps I could use the gs 
library if there's such a thing.

Cheers, Kuba
