Fasthenry (and Fastcap for cap structures) has been thoroughly tested
for determining inductor values for square and spiral inductors on GaAs
substrates.  Its one of the most accurate tools the semiconductor
industry has, and the only free one :)  So its a tried and true
solution.  Now, my preprocessor is another subject altogether.  It is
not tried and true.  It may need more work.
