How about a comment. I use geda on a daily basis. I have a version of
hierarchical buses working. I have support for generating altera
specific files (used by altera for pin definitions i think). I am now
working on transporting projects back and forth between the pads ascii
format and the pcb format. This might be of interest to fab shops
wishing for part locations to be at the center of the part.  If we solve
the problem for pcb and can import a pads project correct the centroids
in pcb and re-export the project back to pads. Also, one fab shop needs
the ascii format for their flying probe tester.
