Hi, Alexey.

First, thank you for your work.

FYI, the right place for patches is now launchpad.net/geda.
Please fill the bug report there. Patches in the mailing list tend
to be lost.  Besides, it would be nice if you provide us with a
sample geda.conf file.

Now, my thoughts about your patch.

The patch contains many unnecessary space changes obfuscating
the changes really made.  If you want to make any space changes
please do them in a separate patch and according to the HACKING
document. You can find the document in the root directory of the
geda-gaf repository. It has a special mention of whitespace
changes. It also reads you must not use tabs; use two spaces
indentations instead.

IMO, the part with buses should be made as a separate patch.  Your
vision of buses may not be applicable to all. For instance, how to
distinguish the case where buses don't connect and just cross one
another?  I think the way buses are displayed should be at least
configurable.

Too many TODO's :)
I think you should not call eda_config_get_context_for_file every
time gschem creates an object. It is an initialization function
and it should be called once at the init step.  I'm in doubt you
should use it at all.  Just try to set your variables in geda.conf
to big values for a local project schematic, run gschem, add
something, and delete the geda.conf file during the work. You will
watch some strange special effects you did not apparently expect.

Regards,
  Vladimir
