gEDA-user: Where to place pcb footprints?

[Philipp Klaus Krause <pkk@xxxxxxx>]

Where is a good place to store pcb footprints? For previous projects I
just copied them to the global footprint directories, but I suppose
that's not really the right place. The pcb documentation tells me to
place project-specific footprints in pkg/newlib. I'd prefer some place
under my home directory for footprints used by multiple projects, but
how do I tell pcb and gsch2pcb to look there? Is there some
configuration file for this? The pcb documentation mentions nothing
about configuration files. Maybe pcb doesn't have one? Is the command
line option to gsch2pcb the only way to tell it where to look for
footprints?
