	source= is a symbol attribute.	I'm confused, how can you specify
underlying schematics from within an uninstanciated symbol?  Unless,
source= is being used for something else?  Are these symbol source=
attributes meant to be some sort of default?  I haven't found a moment
to really look at gnetman yet.

	Right now the right mouse button popup menu is hard coded in
gschem/noweb/x_menus.nw  I might change that to a scheme variable which
you could change mostly on the fly.  I don't use the right mouse button
menu much nowadays.  I perfer having the mousepan attached to that button,
but unfortunately the menu was written before the mousepan, and I won't
change the default.
