I'll do that then.

And in the meantime, to have things work with gschem->gsch2pcb->PCB where
there is a footprint=none and not setting graphical, you can use the
gsch2pcb remove unfound option (run "gsch2pcb -r project" or put
"remove-unfound" in a project file).

You'll just have to monitor gsch2pcb output to make sure that the
only footprints that gsch2pcb can't find are "none" and not
something you really want.
