From 3f94d49bae62301349f31959c34c690b5c47fc2b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tom Rondeau <trondeau@vt.edu>
Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:30:19 -0400
Subject: digital: moved gr_binary_slicer_fb to digital_binary_slicer_fb and
 added QA code. Removed constellation_decoder and everything that dependedon
 it. Must switch everything to digital_constellation_decoder now. Also moved
 gmsk to gr-digital. Make check passes.
