I don't think the gTAG was ever made, so it is possible that there are
bugs in it.

If you attach an attribute "netname=3v3" or some such, to all your 3.3V
lines on every page, it should all connect up.

I don't think it is the netname=foo <=> refdes=foo which links up the
hierarchy... , look at the "pinlabel" attribute of the symbol
instantiated in the hierarchy.

I've not got the details immediately to hand though, so could be wrong.
