Bug Description
Please add a way to update the footprints used in a
layout. This would swap the footprint used in the
layout with whatever is found in the current library.
Ideally the action optionally acts only on specific
footprints. Doing an update to all kinds of footprints
is potentially dangerous, as it may change more
footprints than desirable.

I've made a patch adding this capability by extending the ElementList action like:
ElementList( Need,<refdes> ,<footprint> ,<value> [,ForceUpdate] )
With the ForceUpdate flag, the action acts as if the footprint was changed. The replaced element is in the same orientation keyed off the element's mark.
The patch can currently be found at my pcb fork at:
