The points on a circle method of converting the graphical Cadence/EDIF symbol sounds hard to make 2-way, but it got you out of the closed format at least. How many IP library symbols have fancy graphics? Could they be handled in a way where you skip recreating arcs and lines, and just map the info onto new generic symbols a la djboxsym. (and brethren)? Could the numbers of fancy drawings left in IP libraries be handled case at a time and drawn onto a simple box version by hand? You will want to talk to Viasic Bill Cox. He is doing ASIC with some gEDA parts, but modified with additional features and a data-engine core called datadraw. Search for datadraw, gnetman and viasic and read about that.
