Being somewhat hampered by a total lack of experience in analog
simulation, and the warning of a lack of documenation in gnucap,
please forgive me if the following is a stupid question.

What is the plan for supporting circuit simulation within the gEDA
suite going forward?  I started off thinking that I would have to
generate a spice netlist (because I read somewhere that the spice-sdb
backend was for use with both ngspice and gnucap).  Then I started
wondering if perhaps a new netlist backend would be required for use
with gnucap.  Now I'm not sure what to think, so I think I'll ask.

At the moment, I am compiling gnucap-2007-03-29, and I think (but I'm
not sure) that I will need to follow that by compiling the ngspice17
models.  Then I'm hoping I can load the spice netlist produced by
gnetlist.  Am I heading down the right track?
