gEDA-user: path of files given in source-attribute

[Arvid Rosén]

Yes!
That is pretty much what I would expect.

Starting the relative search from the calling schematic's directory 
seems like the most important point to me. Isn't that how you use the 
hierarchy feature -- to split a huge schematic file into pieces? Well, 
loading common schematics from a library is of course useful too, but 
that could still be done with Peter's proposal.
