This feature still seems second-class in gschem. This is a basic 
function for any "decent" schematics drawing tool. What is missing is a 
design "database" (a well-defined directory structure would do fine), 
with clear separation what is a symbol, schematics or other data. All of 
these views should share/exchange some information (on parameters, pins, 
pins ordering etc.).
