I use Lance (RFDude) Lascari's program under Windows and gsmc-1.1 under Linux

Suggestions
	- Use the same keystrokes as one of those two programs
	- Show Q circles and estimate network Q on the display
	- Show component values on the graph
	- Show impedance values with labels at end of arcs
	- Enable labeling components C1, L1, etc.
	- Support L, C, R, Line sections, etc
	- Enable specifying tube R and C as an endpoint
	  (don't want to have to fake in or out C with a component.)
