	You cannot currently do this with gEDA/gaf.  The slotting in
gschem is for homogeneous symbols only (each slot only differs in
pinnumbers).  For hetrogenous symbols (as Mike and other have suggested),
just draw the symbols and then when they are placed into the schematic, be
sure to give them the same refdes and gnetlist will take care of the rest.
