Hi,

Lately I've noticed a whole bunch of people coming into the IRC channel 
confused by the new behavior of cvpcb. Since it now pushes changes back 
to eeschema instead of writing a file, there is an extra step: you have 
to go back into eeschema and export the netlist again. A lot of people 
are seeing the "Cannot add new component due to missing footprint" 
messages and thinking there's a bug.

Any chance of adjusting this behavior before the release to stop the 
confusion? Perhaps cvpcb could trigger a netlist write on save, or maybe 
pcbnew could use kiway to see the update footprints and pull them in / 
warn about them.
