gEDA-dev: [RFC] Embedding/archiving compromise

[DJ Delorie]

Why project-in-file at all?

Why not define the "project" as "this directory" ?

Various sub-projects could exist in the same directory, sharing a
symbol/footprint database.  Well-known file extensions could be used
to map files to various control purposes (I use "*.prj" for every
gschem->pcb grouping).

That way, we retain the unix file/script design, we get a heirarchy
for free, and yet it's self-contained.
