* src/libavoid/shape.cpp, src/libavoid/router.cpp, src/libavoid/README,
src/libavoid/router.h, src/libavoid/geometry.cpp:
Some minor upstream changes to the libavoid library.
It now matches Inkscape and uses the correct winding direction.
* src/conn-avoid-ref.cpp:
Remove a 'TODO' and hack adjusting winding directions before
passing object convex hulls to libavoid.
