for subcircuits (.subckt ... .ends pair with cellname and pin names
and pin order, but no contents) are automatically treated as black-
box circuits if found and if the "-blackbox" option is passed to the
"lvs" (scripted) command. The "equate pins" command can be used
outside of a comparison to force two circuits (black-box or
otherwise) to be matched by pin name (if not a black-box circuit,
then this is a provisional name match, as a circuit comparison will
order based on connectivity first, not pin names). So two sets of
black-box circuit libraries can be used as long as their pin names
match. One hack added to ignore the "!" at the end of global names
when comparing pin names for matching. Otherwise, pin names must
compare by case-insensitive string match.
