I wrote an extension to 'pstoedit' to do exactly this.  Unfotunately
my web page is down. (well, technically it's up, it's just behind a
firewall!)

I think my patch was merged with the main pstoedit.  A while back
someone sent email to tell me it wasn't working.  I never investigated
further.

Also, I made a filter to do PS->gschem conversion, so I could be a
real "professional" with our comany logo on the schematic.
