> Seems to require automatic schematic drawing code -- not existing yet.

Any swapping solution should be able to at least go back and annotate
pins with the actual physical pin number chosen, else there's no point
to an as-built.

We currently do swapping in gschem, so it knows the pin numbers and
can display them.

Any time we defer pin swapping to downstream of gschem, we need a way
to merge that information with the schematic so that we can have a
schematic with physical pin numbers on them.

I don't think this needs a "automatically draw a new schematic"
feature, just a way of saying "I picked pins 1,2,3 for that symbol".
