Thanks Roger.

I am curious though. Would it not make more sense to use the command
line version of diffpdf? Personally I prefer to draft in GUI but do
all the other stuff from makefiles and things. I don't mean to talk
you out of contributing.

Has anyone looked for schdiff(1) in
http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf
I never noticed it was there.
