	Hmmm... gschem is pretty dumb about netlists, but I've been
debating about taking gnetlist and creating libgnet which would be all
the functions necessary to create netlists on the fly.

	Also the current attribute dialog box is pretty dumb.  I need
to make that a bit smarter.  There's still a lot of work to be done 
in the area of attributes and how they are attached/detatched/edited.

	Glad to hear it.  I still have one more major subsystem rewrite 
in the near term which should improve things even more.  Basically the
whole selection mechansim (internally) is a total mess in terms of design
and implementation.  I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote it.
Once that's fixed a bunch of annoying bugs should go away and larger 
schematics/symbols should be handled much better.
