Hi,

Is the following commit of any interest for inclusion in mainline?

I've written it to allow multiple .deb packages to install global symbol
sources without requiring them to edit the same config files (either
geda-clib.scm or system-gafrc).

It is part of my patch series for CUED, as we've got some site specific
global symbols to install and I wanted to keep them in a separate
package to the stock geda-symbols. (Ok, for full disclosure, our "stock"
geda-symbols has patches to remove some stuff we don't need).

I've not done this, however the code could also load fonts this way..
and any other .scm files we want to load from system-gafrc. If there is
any desire to do this, we could rename the dir from clib.d to gafrc.d
perhaps??

    Alter system-gafrc to process .scm files in $GEDA_DATA_DIR/clib.d/
    
    This change allows each symbol package (e.g. geda-symbols) to install a
    scheme config file under this dir to load its contents. This allows
    additional symbol packages to be installed globally without needing to edit
    either geda-clib.scm or system-gafrc.
    
    Also moves the installation of geda-clib.scm into this directory.
