I'll throw in my $.02 on the subject.  In thinking about what to do, I came
up with the idea of indicating each component and wire by a set of XY
coordinates.  A wire might be represened by
(1,1)->(1,5)->(6,5)->(6,6)
and a transistor by something like
2n222 base=(1,1) collector=(1.5,1.5) emitter=(1.5,.5)
then recreating the circuit would be simply taking a piece of paper, and 
drawing at the places indicated by the coordinates.  It should be easy
to make a format that could be easily translated to a graphics image (for
those with workstations, etc.).  I'm not sure how easy it would be to
generate such a format from a graphics image, but I would appreciate
other's comments on the subject.
