I think we need to provide some hook about the lib search path to 
gsch2pcb.  Currently gsch2pcb has its own mechanism for calling m4 and 
seeing if it worked and also traversing a footprint search path.  I'd 
like to maybe have a way to let gsch2pcb tell pcb "here use this path". 
  The problem with moving to libname today is that no one has schematics 
that support it.  Although maybe the thing to do is if libname == "" 
then we fall back to a search path type approach.

instead of just telling pcb to reload the netlist?

true.  The BOM export should have 90% of what we need.
