See Adelson & Sussman's "Structure & Interpretation of Computer
Programs" (SICP) [preferably the 2nd Edition] for examples of how
to do this fairly easily (if not necessarily terribly efficiently).

Also, Aubrey Jaffer (author of the "SCM" implementation of Scheme)
has been using a "SIMSYNCH", a simulator [not yet publicly available]
written in Scheme, for designing circuit boards. See:
