This can only fix the special case of slotted symbols with power pins. 
However, the more general case that needs to be solved, is a component 
that is associated with several different symbols. This is the case if 
power pins are dealt with a separate symbol, or if a large component is 
divided into several building blocks.

With such multi-part symbol components order in the *.sch file is 
important. gnetlist only gets the footprint right if the footprint 
attribute is attached to the symbol of the component. Since the user 
usually has no control on the order in the file, this can lead to 
unexpected results.
