+XVII. As of release 5.9.6 we have retired the gcw device driver and
+the related gnome2 and pygcw bindings since these are unmaintained and
+there are good replacements.  These components of PLplot were
+deprecated as of release 5.9.3.  A good replacement for the gcw device
+is either the xcairo or qtwidget device.  A good replacement for the
+gnome2 bindings is the externally supplied XDrawable or Cairo context
+associated with the xcairo device and the extcairo device (see
+examples/c/README.cairo).  A good replacement for pygcw is our new
+pyqt4 bindings for PLplot.
