I have used xcircuit, and my understanding is that is stable and
maintainable.  I used some perl scripts to munge refids in a hierarchical
design.  The BOM handling for that flow was kind of sucky.  The netlists
themselves were easy and "just work".  xcircuit has a menu for netlist export,
that includes SPICE and pcb.
