Description WGH 2018-11-13 22:03:52 UTC

GTS stands for GNU Triangulated Surface Library, and is required for sfdp to work.

Building graphiz without this flag and trying to run sfdp (one of the several Graphviz programs) leads to the following error:

Error: remove_overlap: Graphviz not built with triangulation library

I had to waste 10 minutes of my time figuring out what the missing USE flag was, and hopefully, with this PR accepted, nobody will have to do the same :)

Reproducible: Always
