Yea, but I like the idea of having gschem do that merging on-the-fly if
possible.  That way, if I want a better NAND symbol then I don't have to
repeat some kind of build process to generate the derivative, heavy
symbol--- and I don't have the configuration management headache of
tools depending on downstream build products rather than the upstream
sources themselves.
