Since this is discussed here, I just tried what happens

   $ pcb heteptana-actel.pcb
   File -> Import Schematics

Nothing happend for a while.

The window title got a star, the design was marked modified.  Opened the
log window, there was a message that my layout is complete without
shorts.

No questions which schematic pages to load.  No indication what it did.

   File -> save
   $ svn diff

All elements got five attributes added, mostly with value "unknown".
Some elements had a value change, '_' where changed to ' '.

The design was made with gsch2pcb, called up with this project file:

heteptana-actel.proj:

   schematics heteptana-actel.sch
   output-name heteptana-actel
   elements-dir ../lib/solopcb
   use-files
   skip-m4

I guess the File->Import Schematics action found that file and used it?
Or it did not find it, but would have failed to find new footprints?

How would I specify which attributes to add to the elements?

I guess I'll stick with gsch2pcb for a while.

   $ svn revert heteptana-actel.pcb
