You can also add addition options in the script - such as a help command
that will display all existing programs/scripts tied to gEDA. The
"geda-" prefix would be easier in the sense that a shell script could be
replaced with symbolic links and allow the user to TAB a few times to
see what's available. On the other hand, a script could provide a solid
base for more advanced capabilities later on.  Also, some structured
naming convention would provide a start for people who might contribute
scripts to the project - some set of guidelines, if this doesn't already
exist.
