missing airwires at power output

[Bernd Wiebus]

Hello.

I just noticed, that when i change the pin of a power port component to
"power output" type, it will not occur at the netlist anymore, and so i
will miss the airwires at pcbnew.

I don not know, wether this is a bug or not.

But I noticed, too, that at this case, the power port will get an entry
with a lower case "w" in a line starting with "X" at the -cache.lib.
Because there are no other lower case letters at the -cache.lib steering
lines, and a "power input" will get an upper case "W", i think, this is
more likely to be a bug.

If i edit this lower case "w" to an upper case "W", reread the schematic at EEschema
(by closing the schematic and open it again), export the netlist and
read the netlist into pcbnew, the missing airwire will occure.

I am using:
Application: kicad
Version: (2014-04-15 BZR 4803)-product Release build
wxWidgets: Version 2.8.12 (release,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI
1002,GCC 4.7.2,wx containers,compatible with 2.6)
Platform: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae i686, 32 bit, Little endian, wxGTK
Boost version: 1.54.0
         USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
         USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF
         USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
         BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON

which is very actual.

There is an example projekt at the attachent, with a missing airwire at X101 pin3.

There is an error in your "+5V" symbol: pin type should be "power in" instead of "power out"
There is also an error in the CA3140; pin 4 should be "power in" instead of "power out"
