This was because I had in gnet-gsch2pcb.scm some syntax that was OK
in guile 1.4, but not in guile 1.6.  So I've put up a minor release
revision gsch2pcb 1.0.1 to fix it.  There are no changes to gsch2pcb
itself, only to gnet-gsch2pcb.scm, so you only need 1.0.1 over 1.0
if you have guile 1.6.

Also, the part dealing with transistors in my tutorial

    http://web.wt.net/~billw/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html

was weak so I've added there my guide to coordinating transistor
symbol and element pin numbers.  It should be a bit better.

If anybody downloaded from the tutorial my symbol and element libraries
with the idea of using any of the transistor stuff, it might be
a good idea to start over with the adjustments that are there now.
