Dick,

In regards to the forthcoming file format changes, I have some more
housecleaning on the component library and schematic objects I would
like (need?) to do that will make implementing the new file formats
easier.  To avoid a lot of merge conflicts with what you are working on,
I will hold off until you have made at least your initial commit of the
field template code.  It looks like I'll have some free time next week
to start discussing and working on these changes.  I also hope to post a
blue print of a first draft of the new component library file format by
the end of next week.
