I downloaded CVS and built it.  I tested it using spice-sdb with
various combinations of argument flags set.   Everything seemed to
work just fine.  I also ran gsch2pcb on another of my designs just to
verify that it worked.  (Gsch2pcb calls gnetlist internally) It ran
fine also. 

Thank you, Carlos, for this useful addition!
