Port gEDA/gaf configuration to new configuration system
Registered by
Peter TB Brett
gEDA has a fairly serious security vulnerability in the fact that it executes rc files from project directories. A better solution would be not to execute configuration files at all. The next step is to get all tools to load the new configuration files, and for existing configuration variables to be redefined to be based on the new configuration system, all while maintaining backward compatibility.
