This is becoming a FAQ, and we should do something about it..

Either teach gsch2pcb to spot these and complain (short term), or in the
longer term plan of making gsch2pcb _use_ PCB, we ought to be able to
teach PCB to recognise the wrong type of file when it tries to place
this as a footprint.

Bonus points for some heuristic which can spot if the PCB file obviously
just contains one element, and adds a single-click "fix this problem"
button to the resulting dialog box.
