Rather than that, how about a function analagous to XMMS' commandline options?

That is, if XMMS is already running, and you issue `xmms -s` from a 
commandline someplace, the currently running iteration will stop playing.  -f 
skips forward, -t pauses or plays, etc.

That way, gSchem or gEDA can call PCB with the switch, telling it "update your 
current board file with the changes found in difference file xyz".  That 
would facilitate nearly seamless forward annotation.
