I am really shocked by how much gschem-specific stuff there is in libgeda.  I 
had an awful time with the print dialog rewrite due to this, tracking down 
where modifications needed to be made.  Ideally, the shared library should 
only contain code that needs to be shared between applications, and if a 
refactoring of the data structures is going to take place, it would be nice 
to get it right this time.  I wouldn't expect there would be much willingness 
to do it again any time in the foreseeable future.
