gEDA-bug: [Bug 698741] Re: Problematic attribute place holder values

[clifcox <698741@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please disregard the previous patch. I probably doesn't hurt but it
changes a lot of test results. Here is the one test result that should
change for the NGspice Device Models patch.

** Patch added: "Minor Changes to cascade output.net so it will pass the test suite."

Title:
  Problematic attribute place holder values

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In some gnetlist backends the name=? attributes cause problems because they look like
  valid attribute values. eg file=? may be mistaken for a valid filepath, and value=? for 
  an actual value. Changing them to name=unknown is one way to solve this problem in the
  interim. It's now safe to remove the special checks for these "?" like the one in spice-sdb.
  This patch updates these problematic name=? attributes in some symbols to name=unknown,
  and removes FIXME code snipit that checked for the ? value in spice-sdb.
