One project I've had in mind for a while is to write a "geda-netlist"
program in (almost) pure Scheme, which when run as "gnetlist" behaves the
same as the current C gnetlist, but when run as "geda-netlist" uses new
backends which have a lot more access to the netlist internals in order to
get full control over the way that the schematics and symbols are
processed.

This is one of those things that I will do "Soon" (tm).
