This is for a particular commercial transformer. For your parameterized =
problem, I'd use a parameterized subcircuit (supported in ngspice). To =
get gnetlist to pass the parameters to ngspice, you'll need to modify =
the spice-prototype attribute in the symbol and the spice-prolog =
attribute in the schematic.

Note that gnet-spice-noqsi is designed for constructing the elements of =
a SPICE hierarchical netlist rather than a flat netlist. You use it one =
subcircuit at a time, and then arrange to feed all the subcircuits to =
SPICE (I use a Makefile to drive this). You'll probably want a =
gnetlistrc file containing:

(hierarchy-traversal "disabled")

to prevent the usual flattening of the netlist.
