Michael, whilst you did do the right thing in taking fltk out of the 
repo as it has been orphaned for quite a while, it would have been great 
if you could have dropped a mail to the list if only to say "I've killed 
fltk" - it would have saved some time trawling through CVS etc. to 
figure out what broke. Or alternatively if you had warned in advance you 
were going to do it (and maybe even grepped for BR's, though I 
appreciate this takes more of your time), I'm sure someone else with 
deps on it would have picked it up, saving the need to take it out at 
all. Just something to consider for the future. Thanks.

p.s. I do know that fltk was listed here as orphaned a while back, but 
at the time I didn't have any deps on it...
