The logging doesn't look excessive to me.

Title:
  gschem: be less verbose on start-up

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  On start-up gschem emits half a screen full of messages in the log
  window. Most of it contains no information to the user if everything
  is fine. There is:

  * The version string. 
  -->  This is fine, because it provides an easy way to report the version in bug reports.

  * A header in legaleze ("ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY").
  -->  I doubt, that this is a legal necessity. Did not see this kind of message in any other open source application.

  * Many messages about the configs read and parsed.
    
  * Searching foobar.sch
  * Found foobar.sch
   --> This is really like a debugging printf. When told to open a specific file, it should do so silently and only warn if it could not open the file for some reason.

  Suggestion: 
  Limit the output on start-up to the version string by default. Only print the rest of the messages if the option --verbose is given.
