	I have added the code to deal with the midpoints, somewhat.  I'm
not particularly happy with how I added this, but it does work (it
certainly has it's quirks, so if you find one, feel free to send me mail
about it).  This update is now in CVS.

	I do have one question for those people who have created fairly
large schematics in gschem.  How many objects are typically in your
largest gEDA schematics?  You can easily find this out by doing a wc -l
filename.sch.  Of this number how many are nets (grep ^N filename.sch |
wc -l), components (grep ^C filename.sch | grep wc -l) and text items
(grep ^T filename.sch | wc -l)?  I'm trying to get a feel for the sizes
of real schematics drawn with gschem.

	Very shortly I will be asking a whole bunch more of questions
relating to usage patterns so I know what I need change when I start
to redesign and rewrite gschem and friends.  Yes, I am planning to
completely rewrite gschem and friends since I have found many (*many*)
design decisions which at the time were probably okay, but now are giving
me considerable grief (and keeping me up at night).
