The standard library is not meant to be included recursively: it contains 
several directories (gnetman/, verilog/, vhdl/) with symbols whose names 
conflict with symbols in other directories.  If these directories were to 
be included, the symbol names would be ambiguous.

In the default configuration, the library subdirectories are included 
individually (see symbols/geda-clib.scm).  To replicate this behavior on 
the command line, you need to specify a --symbol-library= option for each 
subdirectory.

This is, of course, not optimal.  I think it would be best to move the 
symbol directories which are by default not included to another directory 
(maybe symbols-opt?) so the standard library can be included recursively. 
Any opinions?
