gEDA-dev: Diode symbols in GSchem and PCB

Hi

I just noticed (a few minutes before making a mistake in the actual
circuit) that PCB and GSchem have different ideas about which pin is 1
and which is 2 for diode symbols.

In GSchem (symbol "diode-1.sym") pin 1 is anode.

In PCB ("400, diode [DIODE_LAY 400]" in pcblib/generic, and also "ALF
Axial diode" in pcblib/geda) pin 1 is marked as cathode on the silk layer.

GSchem also has a symbol "diode-3.sym" which seems identical to
"diode-1.sym" except that pin numbers are reversed (and are consistent
with PCB symbols)

I think this inconsistency is quite dangerous. I would like to propose
renaming "diode-3.sym" in GSchem to "diode-1.sym" and deleting the
current "diode-1.sym".

Or am I missing something here?

Best regards
Tomaz
