gEDA-user: New PCB Library window

[Peter Clifton]

I'm posting this here, attempting to solicit some eedback...

I've just written a patch which revamps PCB's footprint library window.
It borrows code from gschem's component selector, and I've reworked the
pinout preview window code into a preview widget.

The library window gets a filter for finding footprints (search is by
the name listed in the window), and a preview.

Comments?

The patch needs some tidying up, and more testing, but if anyone is
interested to have a play in its current state, let me know and I'll
post the required diff. (and extra files).

Best wishes,
