From: http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:master_attributes_list#pinseq

pinseq

This attribute is used to give each pin an unique number or sequence. All pins 
must have a pinseq=# attribute attached to the pin object. This attribute 
should be hidden. This attribute is used extensively by gschem and gnetlist.
In some backends (especially the SPICE backend), gnetlist will output pins in 
the order of increasing pin sequence. The sequence numbers start at 1 and 
should increase without skipping any numbers. This attribute is not the pin 
number (i.e. device pin numbers, like GND is 7 on TTL). For pin numbers see 
the pinnumber attribute.
Examples: pinseq=1 pinseq=2 pinseq=3

This attribute replaces the obsolete pin#=# attribute.

Random question, obviously this slipped by me, but there is code that is 
changing the pinseq= number on the fly?  That doesn't seem right to me.
I always assumed pinseq= would stay constant.
