Summary: Nice-to-have: preview of footprints in gschem

Initial Comment:
If a symbol contains a footprint attribute, the gschem library dialog should give a preview. I know, this is only useful with "heavy" symbols and willl be frowned at by the  proponents of light symbols. But wasn't geda supposed to support heavy symbols too? Anyway, a footprint preview would make it easier to avoid the all too common mistakes of plain wrong footprints.

A footprint preview would be nice for symbols already in the schematic too. Maybe a command that pops a little graphic for a currently selected symbol...
