Backends:
  Spice --> netlist, map symbol pins to electrical model?
  circuit board --> netlist, map symbol pins to footprint pins, BOM
  cables between circuit boards --> Schematic, BOM, cable thicknesses or types
  ASIC --> ?
  Verilog --> ?
  VDHL --> Connection of blocks is this structural VHDL?
