   Just to jump in for a moment (I'm busy...in the middle of designing a 
board with gschem!)...I would absolutely LOVE this.  I've no idea of how 
it could be implemented, though.  TeX can pretty easily render to 
arbitrary-resolution output devices, but though I've used it forever 
I've never written any output support for it.  Would we somehow talk TeX 
into generating vectors/strokes that gschem would then be made to 
understand?

   Does anyone have any thoughts of how that could be done?
