Not currently.  Sounds like a good idea though.  I'd recommend that we 
try to make the was/is file be flexible enough to handle slot/pin 
swapping and maybe some other back annotation sorts of data.  I'd also 
make it an easy to parse format that isn't tied to gschem.

If you feel like putting together a patch, I'd be interested.

It is probably not all that hard.  If you're interested I can point you 
in the right direction.
