"""
Set all schematic footprints from the PCB file, where the components footprints
are known. The footprints were exported once from the PCB using the menu option

  File -> Archive Footprints -> Create New Library and Archive Footprints

and the fp-lib-table was set up to map the name 'Cryptech_Alpha_Footprints' to
the archive directory (rev03-KiCad/footprints.pretty).
