Yes, your file s_hierarchy.c doesn't exist any more. It is mentioned
in commit 597b38ef193d4249e74fea04c131af078bd9ccd5.

From what I remember geda has it, unfortenatly I cannot compile it here.
geda commit c7ed6c5a10cbfba3001b6b2e55bbc3ed0f1e84b8 is probably what I
remember.

So, it would be the bom list and the like that would be affected ?
In that case an external program could do the transform, so you do your
usual stuff and then as a final step you modify some output files with a
separate program. Would that be fine (at least till it is integrated 
into lepton) ?

What is the idea with that ?
