rockhopper geda eagle may be incomplete from some view but the idea is not!
I think the netlist approach is the correct path since it is well proven and used by I think almost all schematic capture applications. There are however a lot of different format http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man1/gnetlist.1.html so the starting point is hard to decide, add a *.hal format? I have not seen the Geda effort but I guess Linuxcnc had to have a symbol library? Then there is a symbol library for the linuxcnc parts and a suitable netlist format and the editor is not good or need to be integrated this is the second step.
