That is not fatal.. it is just xgsch2pcb being vocal that _it_ doesn't
support those options. It will leave them intact in the file, so
gsch2pcb sees and process them ok.

I was actually sent a patch to hide these messages. (I didn't apply it,
as I think they are _somewhat_ meaningful). I've been in contact with
the author of the patch - my suggestion was that the messages should be
present, but could differentiate between "known", but not editable, and
completely unknown commands.

In fact, the patch contributor is now working on a configuration dialog
to support these most common options. I think that will be an excellent
edition when it lands.
