[kicad-users] pin position occupied - false positives ?

[Werner Almesberger]

When working with a component that contains multiple independent units,
KiCad warns about pin locations being occupied even if the conflicting
pin is in a different unit.

This may to be unnecessary. I've attached a patch that suppresses the
warning if the pins are in different units.
