Why don't you read the README of the CD?  It lists the tools
supplied.  

http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/README

On the CD I have also included some of the dependencies, including
guile, pkg-config, and TCL/Tk.  

The idea is to create a distribution including the most frequently
used tools, their dependencies, and an install wizard to take care of
all the installation/configuration nightmares listed in the
"suggestion" thread on geda-dev. 

Or, why don't you try it out?  Download at:

Let us know what you think!
