and HOME substitution in filenames needs to watch for a NULL
cd_file, and (2) The routine that removes the (UNNAMED) cell when
another cell is loaded needs to NULL the boxRootDef pointer or else
it ends up pointing to deallocated memory.
so that it returns cellnames in "natural sort" alphabetical order
instead of the random order produced by scanning the hash table
of cell names. Since this command is used by the "cell manager"
window code, which was also not doing any sorting, then this fixes
the same issue in the "cell manager".
Instead of a 6-character suffix generated randomly, the 6-character
suffix is generated by a hash algorithm from the device parameters.
If the cell parameters are changed, then the cell itself changes.
If the instance name was default (derived from the cell name) then
the instance name changes accordingly. The result is that there
cannot be two (auto-)generated cells with the same parameters but
with different cell names.
optional name field to the "substrate" line in the extract section
of the techfile. This is the default name of the substrate if not
connected to anything labeled. It may use a Tcl variable (preferred).
(2) Added command option "instance orientation [-def]" that returns
the orientation of the named or selected instance. The -def option
returns the orientation using DEF naming convention; otherwise, the
naming used with "getcell" is generated.
unrecognized layers when the "readonly" read option is set.
Added support to scale elements (from the "element" command,
such as the measurement text and arrows) when the grid scales,
which was missing. Corrected the output of persistent elements
in a .mag file so that they are correctly scaled by the scale
reducer.

VERSION
Merged recent changes from master back into bplane, as the efficiency of
bplane for doing extraction on large layouts is unquestionably better.
Fixed the implementation of DBMoveCell() for bplane. Corrected an error
in the bplane version of dbScaleCell() that enumerates cell uses but
does not free the list.
