I can't actually think of any useful way to link gEDA to a project planner
program -- they're trying to solve *totally* different problems, IMHO!
It would be nice to have (a lot) more options in terms of print layout and
exporting. For instance, I wanted to use a compact layout and export it to
EPS, so that I could put it as a figure in a LaTeX document. There is *no*
reasonable way to achieve that using planner at the moment.
