I'm thinking this is another reason perhaps to have pcb do the loading 
of the footprints instead of letting gsch2pcb do it.  Right now I don't 
think gsch2pcb does any sanity checking at all of any files it finds 
that it thinks are footprints.  Makes for non-useful error messages like 
in Ian's case here.
