gEDA-bug: [Bug 897661] [NEW] --m4-file argument to gsch2pcb does nothing

[Peter TB Brett <897661@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

The '--m4-file FILE' option to gsch2pcb is supposed to "use" the
specified M4 source FILE when the gsch2pcb backend generates footprints
using M4.

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 a line which looks like:

(define m4-files STRING)

where STRING is a space-separated list of M4 filenames. However, the
gsch2pcb gnetlist backend never uses the m4-files variable. This was
broken in commit 6d935086d299.
