on my end, some things that might be worth importing are
- sensitivity analysis
- dc dynamics analysis
- dc sweep improvements
- lang_spectre patches/fixes
  - some parameter scoping issues fixed 
- basic unit testing
- lots of experiments involving backend changes
  - parameter lists
  - ELEMENTs with more than 1 input
  - discrete time
  - debugging aid
  - collapsing node hacks
- probably stuff i don't remember...

i do not really know where to start. would be great if somebody wanted
to help...

i have a draft for including plugin package-tarballs into the build
system within the autotools-WIP branch. basically it works like
1) place your package into <gnucap-src>/extern
   type
          git clone <gitrepo> extern/<name>
          cd !$; ./autogen.sh; cd -
        or just
          tar -xf <tarball> -C extern/<packagename> --strip-components 1
2) run ./configure (once)
3) (todo) make check, install now dives into externals

all we need is one git repo for each plugin-package. i have gitified
gnucap-bsim gnucap-spice3f5 gnucap-geda gnucap-adms and gnucap-bm
(i certainly need some help making all of them work.)
