[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're going to have to give me a bit more than "stuffing everything
up".  Are the symbols being incorrectly remapped?  Even if the symbol
library table is empty, the recovery should still be correct as long as
the cache library is valid.  If as you suggest it's so opaque that users
cannot understand what is happening (which I find hard to believe given
that it reports every action required to remap a schematic), I don't
know how to fix that other than silently remap the schematic and only
show the dialog when something goes wrong.  I'll take a look at this
project as soon as I get a chance.
