gEDA-dev: Hi... question about refdes_renum

I just commented out one line. That's all I did. :(

But I get your point. Will do, if there is any interest in it.

I'm running the 200608xx release (that's what is currently
present in the Ubuntu repository). Can I ask you for a favour?
Can you please email me the latest version of this script as
an attachment (not to the list, directly to me) if you have it
handy? I know it's a bit irregular, but it'll save me a lot of
trouble.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

Actually, I'll tell you what my one-line change did.

I found that the refdes_renum that I had would start numbering
from 101 even for a single-sheet schematic when there was
no --pgskip option specified. My one-line change retains the
old --pgskip behaviour _if_ --pgskip is specified, but for the
default case, it starts numbering from 1 instead of 101.
So it is actually upward compatible, in a sense. Very small
change, but I like the new behaviour much more.

Would you call it a bug? I think it's debatable. Some will
call it a feature, I guess. :)
