You already can ;-) Generate your footprint files (using m4, perl, python, etc.)
and place the files in a single directory. Do gsch2pcb --element-dir DIR

All of my "production" symbols are in a single directory. Just use
dired in EMACS to
quickly search through the list. With the IPC7351-like names finding the
appropriate footprint is usually quite easy.

The production symbols only change when I update them not automagically
when I change a script or with a new release of PCB.

P.S. .fp sounds good to me too!
