* When we build a Net's routing wires, and the Net span more than one
* GCell, we can always find the appropriate GCell through the
* \c Hook, \c GCell and GCell association.
*
* Problem arises for a Net fully contained inside one GCell, in this
* case there is no SplitterContact telling us where we are. We have
* to guess the GCell by only using RoutingPad's positions. And unfortunatly
* \c RoutingPad can be on the edge of one GCell so we cannot tell if
* it belongs to the left or the right. To solve this problem we guess
* the GCell from two (different) \c RoutingPad positions.
*
* Note that if there is only one \c RoutingPad, there is no problem at
* all : we are dealing with a <em>one \c Plug</em> \c Net...
*
* If points do not belongs to one GCell (too far appart), strange
* results may occurs.
