	Okay this order is fine with me too.  I really didn't have
a good reason for advocating the other way.

	This message will go away once you rename the system-commonrc 
to system-gafrc, right?

	Okay.

	I don't think we will ever be able to get rid of the other rc files,
mainly because things that are gschem specific have to go somewhere.

	I'll review and test the changes.  Feel free to checkin the changes
when you get a chance.
