It was confusing that the primary frames registered their tools
differently than the other frames. In addition, since the other
frames also added their own tools, foo_actions::RegisterAllTools()
didn't really register all tool but rather those used by the

This allows a const BITMAP_BASE to expose const image

const, in which case it's undefined behaviour.
Also immediately dereference the pointer to a reference

When utilizing the standard iterator container, we may have polygons

First, add automatic detection of toolkit DPI scaling options. For now, this
is, in order,
* Check the GDK_SCALE option under GTK+ (users can set this to force the scaling)
* Check the value from WX's GetContentScalingFactor(). This will start to work
correctly from WX 3.1 and GTK+ 3.10.
Then, add a user-settable override in the main prefs panel, next to the icon
scaling. This is independent of the icon scaling options.
DPI handling is performed in a standalone class, so they can be shared between
the prefs UI and the OpenGL backend easily. Also means Cairo could use the same
interface in future.
Also adjust the OpenGL grid drawing code to use the computed scale factor,
which avoids over-thick grids in scaled environments (the user can manually
thicken the grid if wanted).

* Make LIB_TABLE_BASE::GetCount() return unsigned. This is more
consistent with the behaviour of STL containers (especially the
boost::ptr_vector this is really accessing). Sadly
wxGridTableBase() forces an int, so a cast is still required
at the WX interface.
* Make LIB_TABLE_BASE::At() return a reference. First, this is more
consistent with normal STL indexing operator[]'s, and secondly, it
allows an idiomatic const index method (so you can access const

The motivation is to allow use of this class and LIB_TABLE_ROW
in a test program, where the LIB_TABLE_BASE is const.
Some basic tests on LIB_TABLE and LIB_TABLE_ROW that demonstrate
the behaviour of fallbacks and various access methods.
Also add a few LIB_TABLE_BASE comments and changed some NULLs to

Libpolygon can provide its own includes via target_include_dirs PUBLIC.
This means any linking targets do not need to specifiy them manually.
As common requires polygon, the polygon dep is also now no longer
required downstream of libcommon, as it's transisitvely implied
by libcommon's target_link_libraries.
This resolves a circular dependency previously detected and also
simplifies CMakeLists.
The bitmap definitions (BITMAP_DEF and so on) do not
have any dependencies on other libs, including WX. This
means the bitmaps library can be isolated from the other
dependencies.
Common now depends on bitmaps, and libraries that depend
on common can pick it up from the common target_link_libraries,
as it is PUBLIC. This means a lot of targets no longer
need manual bitmap linkage.
This avoids a circular dependency that was previously reported
by static analysis.
Avoiding pulling in WX and other headers into the include
tree of each bitmap .cpp is a huge speed up (around 10x) in
compilation, and the generated static library is also 10x
smaller (20MB vs 200MB)
Add common as a link library to pnsrouter,connectivity.

* Sensitive to XDG_CONFIG_DIR, so flipping configs is easy
* Better compiler coverage (less conditionally compiled code means
less chance to break a different configuration). Also better

* Type safe config params
* Centralised documentation: it's in doxygen, in one place
No advanced config should be required by a general users. If a general

The fracture() call may result in zero polygons remaining, which will

When processing the selection filter, items were deselected before being

Many operations on the selection involved getting an item by index or
