well, you'll note that the 'pinlist' one is missing something fairly important,
the package/footprint name for each part.

I've written a NV2 netlister which I've placed at

http://www-mtl.mit.edu/~mcmahill/geda/gnet-futurenet2.scm

It seems to produce a NV2 pinlist although you'll see a list of open questions
at the top of the file.

I'll see about making a gnet-futurenet4.scm as well although i'd imagine it
will have a pretty good list of open questions too..
