Couple of questions about these utilities, which appear to convert
OrCAD SDT IV schematics and libraries to gEDA format:

- What's the etymology of "sarlacc"? The header in sarlacc_schem.c
implies the program was once called "orcad" but I can't  come up with
a contraction, abbreviation or acronym that gets me to "sarlacc". It's
not hugely important, but it would be nice to hint why the name is the
name in the manpage.
- the version string in both utilities is "20020825". Rather than me
just submit a patch to bring these up to date, is there a standard
process I need to plug these into so that they will get updated when
we do a tagged release?

Cheers
Gareth
