Agreed.  The huge weakness gEDA has is the total lack of any agreed upon
way of reusing component descriptions and subcircuits.  Everyone has their
own private way of doing it.

A short while ago someone came up with IIRC a way to roll component libraries
into sch files.  This is a step in the right direction.  Has anyone gotten
around to trying this?

I meant to try it but haven't done so, and as usual I'm not sure where the
code for it ended up.
