Bug Description
Currently, gschemdoc (the Scheme program used by gschem to look up per-component documentation) searches three directories on the local machine:
1) The current working directory. This is usually the directory where the schematics live.
2) A system documentation directory, usually $PREFIX/
3) A user documentation directory, $XDG_DATA_
An "easy win" would be to add system, user and project configuration variables that control the documentation search path. The default values could match the current settings.
