Currently, no work has been done here.

I have decided to move from libgnomecanvas to goocanvas. In addition to
this, a switch from GTK2 to GTK3 is necessary. The current state can be
found in a Github pull request:

https://github.com/petri-foo/Petri-Foo/pull/40

It compiles and starts up, CMake files are up to date, but there is
still a lot of work to do:
- Scroll containers apparently work differently in GTK3 as in GTK2
- HBox and VBox are deprecated, and they are ugly and off
- Setting items to hidden in goocanvas gives a segfault
- Drawing waveforms must be done in a new way
- Signals from GUI elements are not routed

Basically, it is a non-functioning piece of software that resembles
petri-foo a little bit. My C is a bit rusty, and my experience with GTK3
and libcairo is obviously not good enough. So if anyone wants to join
in, please help.

Thanks,
Thomas
