I think "ibis" files would do if not all at least the bulk of the work for symbols. I would do an "ibis2sym" command that of course could be run from gschem if needed. It would probably be useful with a table to edit properties of pins but this is true for all symbols and in such case would be in gschem for symbols.

1. To start with, are there a library or any special files in gschem which could be used for handling of the symbol files?

2. Any library to interpret ibis files?
