I was thinking of something more integrated into gschem - some means by 
which a part definition might contain a script that executes, providing 
a UI that allows the user to select the pin functions - the script would 
then set the attributes of the part as needed, and also record the 
selection within attributes.

Ideally, there would be a means by which a "Generate Code" command could 
be executed to output register setups - either just #define's that would 
then be used in startup code, or actual setup code.

It would be really nice for a user to drop a part down, right click on 
it, select "Configure..." and be able to set things up, and for those 
set up decisions to be captured in the schematic and to be available for 
DRC.

Like I said - blue sky dreaming. When I dream, I dream BIG.
