gEDA-bug: [Bug 723343] [NEW] gnetlist misinterpretes "." and "_" in footprint names

[KaiMartin <723343@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

gnetlist fails to interpret footprint names that contain a period. It seems to parse the string instead of simply take it as a whole.
 Example: A footprint file named 
                  AMP_4.2mm_20PIN_LAY.fp

When used in a schematic as 
      footprint=AMP_4.2mm_20PIN_LAY.fp

gnetlist with option --skip-m4 produces this file not found error:
      CONN5: can't find PCB element for footprint AMP_4.2mm_20PIN_LAY (value=AMP_4.2mm_header,_20_pin)  

Suggestion: The footprint should not be interpreted in any way if m4 is
not active.
