I want this sort of feature for other reasons too.  I want to click on a 
component in gschem and have pcb select the same thing.  I've actually 
been working on this some on the gschem side and mostly have the gschem 
end "working" in that it spits out pcb actions to a tmp file so I can 
see what its doing.
