In circuit simulation, it's all transmission lines.  All that you list
is just different shapes.  What gnucap does with the data, I don't know
until I see it.

For arbitrary shapes, think SVG, but it isn't quite SVG.  Use SVG
parameters in a Verilog syntax, except that where SVG uses absolute
coordinates, Gnucap/Verilog wants relative coordinates such that when a
shape is moved it stays the same.  The absolute position is specified
through the $xposition and $yposition parameters.

Ideally, you would be able to both export and import this format.  For
now, export only will enable some simulation.  If you can import too,
you have a way to test it by doing a round trip.
