I'm wanting to make translation from gschem netlists work as a simulatable
verilog-a netlist for gnucap.  I'm new to C++, have done some C programs.

Should I just wait some more until this dust settles, or is it OK
to bug you with C++ newbie questions about how to understand gnucap language plugins?

My goals could support Savant's "A plugin to translate a schematic file into a netlist preserving the placement of components in 
form of comments which can be parsed and re-translated into the original schematic".

and might be necessary for his plan to work, since when I've tried using verilog-a gnetlist output
with gnucap in the past, I only got partial functioning.
