Igor is already moving things from script:

I also really wish file format's could keep on being text.
Internal SQL sure but I don't see the point of a not-human-readable
format.  Its not
as if the size or parsing time is likely to be significant.

Now I'm going back to my strategy of not caring what happens to gEDA
and just using my existing version.
