I am slowly phasing out the use of m4 at pcb run time and moving it to 
build time.  pcblib-newlib is supposed to have all of the footprints 
from pcblib (the m4 generated library) except that they have all been 
generated at build time.  Note that I'm not 100% of the way there. 
There are some footprints in the m4 generated library that cause some 
name problems.  My guess is the answer will be I will remove some of the 
offending footprints but I need to go through each of them, figure out 
what the issue is, and make a decision as to if the footprint is good 
enough to warrant fixing the name issue or bad enough to warrant 
immediate removal.

As far as the contents of 'newlib', I should probably just kill most of 
those footprints.
