Hi,

A while ago I was trying something to attack the 1000-opamp-footprints
problem (aka the transistor problem) and it looked promising.  But it
would have really helped me if the libgeda file format had a way to
uniquely identify a COMPLEX - more than just a refdes, which can easily
be duplicated in the current slotting mechanism.  I'm thinking along the
lines of some sort of uuid=056e81a8-4c07-42e1-a64e-9d815d433368 style
attribute: something that, in C, can be converted into a pointer to a
COMPLEX.

In about two weeks I'd like to add this to libgeda, when I will be free
from any "all your copyrights are belong to us" employment contract
clause.  In the meantime I'd like to know of any objections, Super
Important recommendations, etc.

I was thinking of just ripping some code from CVS where it generates
commitid attributes, but I'm open to any better ideas.  I'm not sure if
I like the idea of just *numbering* all the COMPLEX'es in a schematic
file, since then I'd have to worry about keeping independent number
spaces from stomping on each other.

variable function to a minimal sum of products expression using a
karnaugh map instead of the Quine-McCluskey Algorithm.
