Title:
  --m4-file and -m4-pcbdir arguments to gsch2pcb do nothing

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The '--m4-file FILE' option to gsch2pcb is supposed to "use" the
  specified M4 source FILE when the gsch2pcb backend generates
  footprints using M4.  The '--m4-pcbdir DIR' option is supposed to set
  the M4 search path to DIR.  Neither do anything at the moment.

  gsch2pcb generates a snippet of Scheme code which is evaluated by
  gnetlist between loading the gsch2pcb gnetlist backend and running it.
  The generated snippet contains lines that look like:

  (define m4-pcbdir DIRSTRING)
  (define m4-files FILESTRING)

  where FILESTRING is a space-separated list of M4 filenames. However,
  the gsch2pcb gnetlist backend never uses either of these variables.
  This was broken in commit 6d935086d299.
