Roland,
I have the patch ready. Do you prefer I do an actual bug report like
before or just send it to you here. It changes the gnet-spice-sdb.scm
file and the gnet_spice_sdb.py file. Both versions work for me but you
should probably look at the python version carefully since my python is
even weaker than my scheme :)

All it is doing is if the the spice-title device has a comment ==
usetitle (case insensitive) then prepend '.TITLE ' to the contents of
the value attribute.

The .TITLE command is optional in ngspice unless the title is not the
first line. I put it in as I don't know that there isn't a spice variant
that requires .TITLE, and it was good practice for both scheme and python.

I am also thinking about writing up what I am thinking about doing as
you or others might have suggestions as to a better way to accomplish it
given you all are more familiar with the existing geda architecture.

Also, I was having trouble with the -L switch in gnetlist when used with
the -p switch. That is for version 1.10.0 so it may have been fixed
since. I can send you more detail if you want.
