I wrote something like that a while ago. I did not want to distribute
it before I was done, but since there seems to be a demand for it I'll
put a copy on tesla.ee.cornell.edu, in /pub/biz.tar.Z. 

It is not production quality code, and there are some more things I'd 
like to implement, but I will make it public now...

My program is a type of lint(1), for .sim format files and 
it produces plotting information that can be translated to tgif, or
directly plotted on X. We use it here at Cornell to reverse-engineer 
and debug magic layouts.

If you do get a copy, I would appreciate it if you'd drop me a line
and give me your e-mail address, so I can keep track of things and
notify you about updates.
