Bug Description

The gschem GUI prevents the creation of pins with zero length. However, these pins work like a charm when done in a text editor. If the designer feels zero lenght pins are nice, then the GUI should not try to prevent him from creation. Proposed solution:
Remove the check for zero length.

These patches are for current git master HEAD, commit

The attached modified lightbg colormap scheme can help to figure
out differences introduced by the second patch.
To use it, add the following string in your user gschemrc:
(load (build-path (getenv "HOME") ".gEDA" "gschem-colormap-mycolors"))
