Now we are really straying into new-feature land... as far as I can
tell, there is no code in eeschema for "locate and zoom to fit a net".
I could pick some random object on the net and locate that without
much code, but is that the behavior we want? (especially for nets that
exist on multiple sheets)

Hi Jon,
I just tested this woth both patches applied. It seems that
selecting nets in eeschema the zoom to view works good in pcbnew,
but the other way around not so well. It does not always zoom to
the net in eeschema when selecing nets in pcbnew.

Hi Wayne,
Give this patch a try on top of my first one and see if it
does what you want.

I suppose so, I disagree with it having been classified as
a bug but
that's not your fault ;)
