I agree.  In order for this to work, you'll probably have to replace 
"component-library" with "component-library-search" in geda-clib.scm.

I don't see a point in splitting xspice-specific symbols into multiple 
commits.  However, for symbols which are not specific to xspice, care must 
be taken to conform to the conventions of the default library (which may 
conflict with xspice).  I'd rather not open the issue of changing the 
default library right now, but if you must, please group each logical 
change as one commit and provide a rationale why this change is necessary.
