Which should better be avoided. If I hand out a copy of a schematic to 
someone else, I expect it to render exactly the same on his screen.

But isn't the latest version of gschem itself almost capable to pull the 
stunt? The new library dialog shows a tab with all syms used in this 
particular schematic. Why not grab this list and use the library search 
tools of the running gschem to find the syms. A separate app like 
garchive is in danger to lag behind changes in the way libs are dealt 
with. This adds to the amount of non-trivial side effects.
