  I agree. I'm usually a one-man shop, but I agree that frobbing the
netlist in between gschem and PCB would not be a clean way to do it.
Sometimes I have to refer back to designs done many years ago (I've been
using gEDA+PCB for about 17 years), and there's no way I'd be able to
remember what I did.  And making a habit of checking the design notes is
frought with peril; all of the information should be contained within
the schematic.

  Adding another net attribute to the symbol instance seems to be the
perfect solution, and it works great.
