Summary: de-clutter gschem back-up files.

Initial Comment:
gschem backup files of the form <name>.sch~ create unnecessary clutter in the user's work directory.  The are important, and need to continue to exists is some easy to find location.  My suggestion would be to create a hidden subdirectory and place them there, such as: 
.gschem-backups/<name>.sch
