gEDA-dev: heavy symbol generator

[Timmerman, Bert]

Hi Dan,

I forgot to mention the "symversion=" attribute :)

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman. 

P.S.: s/we where we could use the for/we know where we could use the
symbols for/

Hi Dan,

While you're doing heavy symbols please make the "symbols a little bit
more heavy by including "author=", "email=", "dist-license=" and
"use-license= attributes.

This way we where we could use the for and who to mail in case of minor
glitches.

Kind regrads,

Bert Timmerman.

BTW: happy 7.4.7

Its not fully featured yet and only generates 14 transistors right now, 
but the attached "heavy" symbol generator I think demonstrates the 
concept for what I think is the right direction for component (note, I 
didn't say "symbol") libraries for gschem+pcb.

After all, if I put a MMBT3904L in my design, I don't want to have to 
remember every time that it comes in a SOT23 and to check that the 
pinout in npn-1.sym matches the SOT-23 pin numbering (hint, it doesn't).

One of these days I'll probably produce myself a library of heavy 
symbols that includes all 5% and 1% resistors in 1206, 0603, and 0402 
packages and a whole bunch of other parts like that.  This will make the

time to capture a schematic and start on layout be much less I think.

Maybe this is what people already do and I'm just slow....
