Hello,

I'd like to work with xgsch2pcb, mainly because I lack the skills to
write something portable in C and I'm rather short on time.

After reading a bit of its code I think I can adapt it to use glade,
write a plugin interface and maybe some templates. When done with the
plugin interface I'll start to code plugins to interact with
simulators and whatever is needed. Also calling refdes_renum when
necessary might help. I believe that xgsch2pcb can be a great aid to
help people accustomed to other tools in an effortlessly migration.

That's what I think can be done. However, I used pcb and gschem for a
couple of small projects and I did most of the simulations with qucs,
so I lack expertise in working with ngspice / spice together with the
gEDA tools and I am not aware of more stuff that can be implemented in
xgsch2pcb.

Well, let me know what you think. Forgive me if my wording wasn't
polite and tell me what I said wrong.

Cheers,
Adrian.
