1. Yes. I don't know that I'd integrate the footprint and symbol files into
the database. I think I would let them hang around as is today. In the
database I'd put only the metadata. Good question.

2. Using libsqlite is quite straight forward. It is just the time that it
takes to integrate it into libgeda and pcb.

I don't know if having a library feature in pcb makes sense. I can't recall
when was the last time I added something on a layout directly from pcb. I only
use the 'load element data to past buffer' when I design a new footprint, and
want to check it.

We should take a look on this project:
