That would be very nice.

I would like to test xorn, I did "git pull -a" and found that
there are two xorn branches. Which one should I use ?

$ git branch -a | grep xorn
  remotes/origin/home/rlutz/xorn-integration
  remotes/origin/xorn

///

And for the exercise, I have an program I'd like to implement as you
probably have seen in the mail thread of 'should we broaden scope of
libgeda':

 Given a sch file, collect all sym files to a save directory.

So, in xorn, which bindings are available, c and python, any more ?
