I always use 'skip-m4' in my gsch2pcb project file since newlib is so
much cleaner.

Unless you're exclusively creating newlib footprints, right?

For instance, my footprint library contains the following footprints
which have hyphens ("-") in their name:

FCI_10033526-N3212MLF.fp
Hirose_DF13A-2P-1.25H.fp
Molex_KK-156_male_header_3pin.fp
Molex_KK-156_male_header_8pin.fp
NXP_LQFP-48_7x7_SOT313-2.fp
Omron_XF2M-2015-1A_RefPin1.fp
Omron_XF2M-2015-1A_RefPin20.fp
TSOP-5.fp

Colin
