Look at any component and ask whether it is composed of other things. If
 it is, implement those other things and then compose it that way. For
example in the QUCS document, look at the models for transistors and
stuff... There are a number of elements in addition to the gain. Instead
of writing all those equations in a lump, you create instances of each
of the component parts and compose them. -- there could be numerical
issues with that approach but it's definitely the best way to control
complexity here and make sure that bug fixes to the elements are
immediately applied to all components that contain that element.

I just finished becoming barely proficient at SVN, so NO. =( Maybe if
someone has a tarball, I'll grab it and check it into SVN... =P

The problem with the documentation to kdevplatform is that it doesn't
have an overview of what it's actually does, and who should use it, --
hey wait! all the links from the page you linked to are DEAD!!! =(((
