Yeah, eventually I'll post it here in case anyone is interested, but it 
outputs an HTML table with single-pin nets removed. The HTML table is 
(IMHO) easier to read on paper than any of the other netlist formats. I 
remove single-pin nets because I had a design with some net names that 
were generated from a script (most of which were not being used).

So there's nothing special about the gnet-*.scm files (other than one 
of them being loaded as specified by the "-g" flag)? This will probably 
work just fine for me, then.

I'll let you know if it doesn't. Thanks!
