Merge branch 'master' into netgen-1.5

black-box circuits, especially those coming from verilog netlists
where a pin does not need to be declared and is implicitly floating.
This prevents the need to have an explicit black-box entry for any
verilog module that may have an instance that does not declare all
the pin connections.  Also corrected an error which causes mysterious
failures if a verilog netlist is read before a SPICE netlist,
because the former gets hashed case-sensitive and the latter changes
the hashing to case-insensitive.  Modified to force the SPICE
netlist to be treated case-sensitive, which may cause errors, but
is consistent with the reverse order handling, and doesn't cause
unexplained errors.
