Pondering on this for some time now (actually two years++) I stumbled
upon this thread.

Have a look at my Work In Progress at:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~ljh4timm/downloads/WIP_bread_board_stuff/

I have the idea of coding/building some sort of plug-in around this pcb
and footprints for doing the "gschem --> breadboard" stuff in a somewhat
automated/scripted way (perhaps I call it gschem2bb, or just
gBreadBoard ;-)

So far I have not looked at one line of code in the Fritzing tarball due
to the "bread on the table"-project that keeps me busy all day ;-) as
the Fritzing idea looks promising and could be extended to gpl eda.

Maybe this all happens during a private Summer of Code session whilst on
holiday in Southern France in July (while sipping gallons of Free Wine,
as in Freedom of Beer).

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
