Note that a local directory *overrides* the global one, as pcb only
supports one library at a time (er, one each of m4 and newlib).

In my gsch2pcb project file, I do something like this:

elements-dir footprints

For PCB, you set the "lib-newlib" variable (settings in gtk, Xdefaults
in lesstif).  Xdefaults example:

Pcb.lib-newlib: /envy/dj/geda/gedasymbols/www/user/dj_delorie/footprints
