Dick and I have discussed this before. Once the pcbnew.dll is work is complete. We should be able to use the footprint viewer/3D model viewer in Eeschema to set the footprint field. At some point I would like to merge some of the CvPcb footprint assignment functionality into the current footprint viewer. This includes things like the component pane and the auto footprint assignment feature. Once that is all in place and working, get rid of CvPcb.
