Looks nice. I've added it to the library and the expanded view.

Hmm, it's 100 mil (2 grid points) longer than the resistor, but seems
to be perfectly on-grid.

Ah, nice. But the larger text now overlaps the circle. I think we need
a new symbol for our powers.

Great !

I like that. But at EXTONx, you made one of those evil crosses.
(Openmoko did plenty of them too :-( )
If you "Plot" the sheet to Postscript, you'll see that the circle
is hard to spot. So it would be better to use an inverted F shape,
with VB_SYS on top of the vertical line.

Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that's left over from R&D ...

Excellent. Thanks a lot !
