: The "board.cmd" script generated by gsch2pcb contains the following lines:
: 
: [...]
: # Start of element U40
: ChangePinName(U40, 2, Vout)
: ChangePinName(U40, 1, GND)
: ChangePinName(U40, 3, Vin)

	Apparently pcb knows the pin names - when I do Shift-D and click
on the U40 footprint, the pop-up window with a copy of the footprint with
pin names is displayed. Having them displayed in the tooltip would be nice,
though (should I add a feature request to some request-tracking system?).
