Log Message:
Update to magic-7.5.188.  There have been many changes since this package
was last updated.

Besides the upstream changes listed below, also add DESTDIR support
(which is enabled by better upstream support for it).

4. Version 7.5 Release Notes:
---------------------------------

   Version 7.5 is the development branch.  Version 7.5.0 is the same as
   7.4.2, which is essentially the same as 7.3.123, plus some
   documentation updates.  Intended development is as follows:

   1) Use a finely spaced grid for the database, but keep the concept
      of "lambda" for layout.  Keep backwards compatibility, and resolve
      issues with layout that does not work well on the lambda grid.

      Item #1 implemented in 7.5.1 by allowing a DRC "scalefactor" line,
      which declares that all DRC rules are in units of (lambda /
      scalefactor).  Rules "in use" are scaled to lambda and rounded to
      the nearest integer.  The original value is retained, however, so
      that any call to "scalegrid" will recompute the DRC distances based
      on the current internal grid.  Thus, we can define DRC rules in
      fractional lambda and therefore match vendor DRC rule distances
      while still maintaining magic's concept of "lambda".  This means
      that users working entirely within magic have scalable CMOS rules,
      but if a "vendor cell" (3rd party GDS or CIF) is loaded, the DRC
      rules will be correct with respect to it.

   2) Create tile-based DRC functions that work like cifoutput:  perform
      tile operations, for which the resulting plane, instead of being
      output as a file like CIF or GDS, simply becomes an error result
      plane.  This will become an extra built-in plane.  Try to keep the
      plane numbers down by removing the built-in routing planes when they
      are not used.

      Basically, this means that the top of the DRC section defines a set
      of "templayer" blocks just like "cifinput" and "cifoutput" (but at the
      same scaling as the layout (thus the main reason for item #1 above)),
      where the templayer types can be used in the DRC section.

   3) Add "cifoutput" operators as needed to form a complete DRC.  Add DRC
      rule types as needed to form a complete DRC (for example, it needs a
      "copy" function that declares that the templayer itself represents the
      error condition).

4. Version 7.4 Release Notes:
---------------------------------

   Version 7.4 is the new stable distribution version of magic.
   Apart from changes to the release notes, it is identical to
   the last revision (123) of development version 7.3.  Revisions
   of 7.4 will be made as necessary to fix bugs in the code.  All
   new additions and major changes will be done to the new
   development distribution, version 7.5.  Therefore there will
   not be a "What's new in 7.4" section, as there is not supposed
   to be anything new in version 7.4.

5. Version 7.3 Release Notes:
---------------------------------

   Magic release 7.3 incorporates a stacked contact model which is,
   for the most part, backwardly compatible with Magic releases
   7.2 and earlier.  Information about this developmental release
   can be found at:

        http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/magic7_3.html

   What's new in 7.3:
   ------------------
   Provided by Tim Edwards (MultiGiG, Inc.):
         1) Stacked contact model allowing arbitrary stacking of
            contact types.
         2) A separate "undo/redo" method for network selection, to
            remove the memory overhead associated with selecting and
            unselecting large networks.  Also removes some time overhead
            as well, especially when unselecting networks.
         3) Much improved "plot pnm" function.
         4) Improved transistor and resistor extraction.
         5) LEF format reader; improved LEF/DEF input/output handling
         6) New style and colormap file formats
         7) Vendor GDS read/write capability
         8) "wire segment" drawing function
         9) Handling of path records in CIF and GDS input
        10) Handling of cell scaling in GDS input
        11) Pi-network device extraction for resistors
        12) Option to write contacts as cell arrays in GDS output
        13) New "widespacing" and "maxwidth" DRC algorithms.
        14) "polygon" command
        15) New cifoutput operator "bloat-all"
        16) Backing-store for 24-bit and OpenGL graphics
        17) New "pick" tool for interactive selection move and copy
        18) New interactive "wire" tool
        19) Crosshair
        20) New cifoutput operator "slots"
        21) New fcntl-based file locking mechanism
        22) "angstroms" units supported in cifinput/cifoutput
        23) Non-Manhattan device extraction support
        24) New "feedback" mechanism
        25) Proper support for > 32 planes (up to 64)
        26) Fixed array interaction CIF/GDS generation
        27) Added executable "magicdnull" for streamlined batch-mode use
        28) New method for crash backups, including restore with "magic -r"
        29) A number of other technology file additions and enhancements

6. Version 7.2 Release Notes:
---------------------------------

   Magic release 7.2 incorporates the capability to run magic from the Tcl
   interpreter with graphics handled by Tk.  Instructions for compiling
   and installing this version are in README.Tcl.  Information about
   this release can be found at:

        http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/magic7_2.html

   What's new in 7.2:
   ------------------
   Provided by Tim Edwards (MultiGiG, Inc., and JHU Applied Physics Lab):

       1) Tcl interpreter extension option
       2) Cygwin compile option
       3) Memory resources cleaned up
       4) GUI interface to Tcl version of Magic
       5) Readline update to version 4.3
       6) OpenGL fixes and refinements
       7) Nonmanhattan geometry fixes and extensions
       8) Threaded graphics in non-Tcl environments
       9) Inductance extraction
      10) CIF and GDS input/output support for deep submicron technologies
      11) Different internal and lambda grids, including automatic or
          induced ("scalegrid" command) grid subdivision and expansion.
          "snap" and "grid" functions and extensions aid layout when
          lambda and internal units differ.
      12) Removed commands "list", "listall", "parent", and "child",
          replacing them with the more general-purpose "cellname"
          and "instance" commands.
      13) Added command "tech", and re-loadable technologies.
      14) Revamped the "dstyle" files and updated the dstyle version
      15) Added "element" types for layout annotation.
      16) Extended extract section of techfile to include "device"
          keyword and devices "mosfet", "bjt", "capacitor", and "resistor".
          New model resistor and mosfet use width/length instead of area/
          perimeter.
      17) Added 3D rendering window invoked by command "specialopen wind3d",
          for the Tcl version compiled with OpenGL graphics.
      18) Added "height" keyword to tech file for height/thickness values
      19) Added "windowname" command for managing multiple wrapper windows
          under Tcl.
      20) Added extraction extension for annular (ring) MOSFETs.
      21) Added "widespacing" DRC rule.
      22) Added GNU autoconf compile
      23) New command "property" for setting key:value pair properties
          in cell definitions that can be interpreted by other routines
          (such as LEF/DEF).
      24) General-purpose subcircuit method using the "port" command to
          declare a cell to be a subcircuit and to mark the position and
          orientation of connections into the subcell.  This replaces a
          method previously built into version 7.2 using a "subcircuit"
          layer; that method is now considered obsolete.
      25) LEF and DEF format readers, LEF format writer.
      26) Improved techfile format with asterisk-notation and DRC
          "surround", "overhang", and "rect_only" statements.
