gEDA-bug: [Bug 707064] Re: Remove unconnected net cues for netname connected nets

[Krzysztof KoÅciuszkiewicz <707064@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the absence of further comments I have pulled the attribute hooks
from Peter C, added connectivity hooks and rewritten the code to use
these.

Right now the only missing functionality is redrawing the objects when
the when the connectivity changes.

The branch pin-cues can be cloned from here:

Title:
  Remove unconnected net cues for netname connected nets

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This came up after a presentation with potential users.

  The red cues on the end of unconnected net was perceeved as a nice
  warning that something was unconnected.

  Their expectation was that a net connected at one end should lose the
  second cue (on its unconnected end) if the net is named. This could be
  implemented either to mean "has a netname=" attribute, or that it is
  connected to something which has one.

  This helps to preserve the semantic that "red splodge" == something to
  fix.

  We also noted that the pin cues were not nearly as visible as they
  ought to be when projected!
