Bill Cox contributed "gnetman" a year or two ago.  It was supposed to
be an improved netlister which handled hierarchy natively.  I looked
at the code at the time, but couldn't understand it.  This has to do
with my limitations, not necessarily gnetman's.  Perhaps somebody
smarter than I could take a look at gnetman (available off the gEDA
site) and see if it would offer a better base from which to produce a
hierarchical netlister for the purposes you propose?

Just a thought . . . .
