gEDA-user: ngspice - switched capacitors

[Stuart Brorson]

According to a widely available ngspice handbook available here:

http://www-ti.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/~bernauer/lehre/ti-1-0506/spice/docu.html

you need to name the switch model SW, not VSWITCH.  Give the handbook
a read, it's not too bad.
