lang_geda aims to add the functionality of parsing, writing and simulating geda
schematics.

lang_geda.cc implements two commands
- gschem
  equivalent to options lang=gschem. changes the interpreted language to gschem
- geda <args>
  miscellaneous commands related to geda modules and schematics. for example
  "geda file.sch module" loads an instanciable (module/subcircuit) from a gschem
  schematic file. this is under construction, please refer to the tests
  subdirectory for examples.

d_{net,port,rail,place,gedasckt}.cc implement various geda related devices.
these express extra semantics of instances found in geda schematics.

------------
install, then load as follows
-------------
gnucap>load lang_geda.so
-------------

this package now provides (some) component implementations for (some) geda symbols.
e.g. if you use "analog" symbols from geda, use "`gedalib analog.v" to load the
implementations. (this is slightly in flux/under construction).

this gnucap-module package works best with unstable gnucap (or gnucap-uf).

--------
note on default connections. (not to be confused with global nets. global nets
are mad).

there's a schematic behind a symbol, it can have more ports than the symbol
has. there are some options to handle this. we use a "default_value" attribute
for port instances and a "default_connect" option for symbols.

(this mechanism does not handle ports with pins in the symbol, but without a
connection in the schematic. those are just "open", as indicated by the red
higlighted open ends in the schematic.).

a symbol instance has an attribute "default_connect". it defaults to the
"default_connect" option passed to the geda command (which defaults to
"open"). these are the possible values.
- "open". leave open
- "auto", connect those ports with "default_value" attribute to the net in
  symbol scope with this name.
- "promiscuous". as "auto", but use the port name if "default_value" is not
  set. see [1].
- "ground". connect to ground, 0
- maybe later: "global". don't know how to represent.

[1] the "port name" is the first available out of "net" and "refdes". otherwise it is the internal name of the wire end.
