I'm actually okay with leaving the backup & undo files where they are. No-one
seems to complain about Emacs keeping its backup/undo files in the same
directory as the file being edited. Doing this has the added advantage that
if gschem crashes, and then someone tries to open the schematic as another
user/from another machine, they will receive the "do you want to recover"
dialog.
