I don't imagine Al was meaning separate from gnetlist even.  A translator
is by definition 2-way and that is the thing he, and I too, think is very 
important.
The main example is not even gnucap, it's gschem and pcb...  We translate from
gschem netlist to pcb netlist, but not back again, so we can't back-annotate 
our schematics
without outside scripting.

That would be a feasible GSOC student project.
