Bug Description

The import schematics action always uses the M4 library first. This may not yield the desired result, if the local library conflicts with M4 names.

Suggestion: Add a tab to the properties dialog to set gsch2pcb options.

Given that we have newlib versions of all m4 footprints, perhaps we should just change pcb to always prefer newlib over m4?

Yes, please!
The preference of M4 over newlib has been a constant source of newbie irritation at my place. In particular, M4 should not be preferred over localized versions of a footprint.
