Older pcb's didn't support netlists *in* the pcb file itself. Since
we do now, perhaps gsch2pcb could just put the netlist in the newly
created file?
Sounds like a good idea. Anybody have some spare cycles to
tackle this?
In case someone beats me to it... we should cause gsch2pcb to also run
'gnetlist -g pcbpins' and tell the user to execute the actions file
which results (assuming you have a new enough pcb). That will foward
annotate all pin names from schematic to layout. Lets you use a generic
footprint but get component specific pin names in the layout.
