Hello

Now that Geographic Reannotation is a WIP I was thinking it might make 
sense to update eeSchema's Annotate dialog.

I propose the following:

*Change to dialog:*

**Add to Scope:             Selection

Add to Numbering:    Add/Remove prefixes (allows conformance to ASME 
Y14.44 and IEEE 315)
                                      Replace "page number times 100, 
1000" with "page number times X"

Add optional push to PCB

Place Advanced options on a tab.

*General:
*Incorporate undo
Perform a "sanity check" on new annotation to check for redundant 
references before committing it.

*Other:
*Additional suggestions?


Compared to Geographic Reannotation this should be straightforward. I do 
not see any need to modify PCBNew code.

Also I have a better understanding of the code and process and should 
require less hand holding.

Any thoughts?
