Thought I would see what the Advogato trust web looked like
with graphviz. I would not recommend anyone else doing
this, as it takes longer than I wanted to wait. Running it
on just the purple lines finished in reasonable time, but
ghostview was not usable with such a large single page PS
file.

Someone suggested adding support for graphviz. As
graphviz is not open source (despite what they say they
believe in their licence faq), we can’t link it with dia.
If I get around to doing this, it would probably involve
modifying graphviz to export the data in an easily readable
format, and getting the import filter to read this data
through a pipe.

More work on ExtensionClass based pygtk. I now have an
almost finished code generator that will convert files in
Havoc’s new defs format to ExtensionClass based wrappers.
There are a few problems, but it is mostly working.
Handling of plain functions is partly done as well.

I should apply some of the fixes people have sent in to
the HEAD branch of pygtk. I should also look at fixing the
gettext.py bug for catalogs created on big endian
machines.

It got up to 37 degrees C today. Very hot.
