	At this point in time with version 20021103, bus support in 
gschem is cosmetic/visual *only*.  gnetlist for the most part ignores
buses.  

	But for now just name your buses with some convention
(ie. DATA[7:0]) and then name your nets appropriately (DATA0, DATA1,
DATA2...)  and things should keep working once I finish bus support
in gnetlist (which has been taking me years to finish for some reason).
Bus/net naming/numbering conventions have not been set in stone yet.

(and no, it's an good question, especially since there is zero
 gEDA/gaf documentation on this topic)
