pcb does this rather efficiently using rtrees to keep track of what's
where.  Since most net lines in schematics tend to be horizontal or
vertical anyway, I think we can optimize this enough to be doable with
minimal code changes.  Not that I know anything about gschem's
internals, just guessing.

I really don't want to think of the problems involved with trying to
move a net segment after doing that, though.
