Yes, I have been working on a gattrib rewrite and I've just barely
got to load/save component attribs. I have some useful ideas for
improving gattrib in general, but the progress is really slow (I'm
currently finishing my thesis). So don't expect anything soon.
(The good news is I've been able to greatly reduce code size, at least
for those features that are implemented.)

Another thing is that I've not yet fixed the new gattrib architecture 
which seems like a good idea, given the recent discussions on light vs.
heavy symbols and part databases. Perhaps it would be best to just
wait for a consensus on geda-user (I'm not sure if that's possible, though,
but I _am_ hoping) and then begin coding?
