	In gschem, you can embed components (as you place them) if you
select: "Embed component in schematic" in the drop down in the "Select
Component..." dialog box.  You can also select all the components in the
schematic and execute Edit/Embed Component (which is stupidly silent).
To make sure all the components are embedded run:

cat filename.sch | grep ^C | grep -v EMBEDDED

from a shell.  Once all the components are embedded, the schematic file is
completely standalone.

PS. Or just use garchive. :)
