@command{hacknet} is a SPICE netlist generator for the @HACKT{} suite.  
The input is a @HAC{} file containing production rules, usually
connected through instance hierarchy.  
The output is a hierarchical netlist with devices, subcircuits, 
and instances.  
The output should be suitable for SPICE-like circuit simulators.
