I've remembered one else way I used some time ago:
  - make a figure you want in your favorite vector graphics editor
    (e.g.  inkscape)
  - export it to pdf or postscript
  - convert it to gschem format with:
    pstoedit -f gschem figure.pdf figure.sch

You'll get the figure approximated by lines. pstoedit has some
options you may want to set in order to make the figure look more
smoothly.

You can scale your figure either before (in inkscape) or after
exporting to pdf (there is at least one script on gedasymbols.org
for that purpose).

Cheers,
  Vladimir
