I've been doing this myself. The neat part about the "newlib" format is you can use your favorite language (instead of just m4) to make footprints. So, I have a "make-tb35" perl script that makes a whole range of 3.5mm terminal blocks, for example. You can also copy footprints from other places, validate them, and rename them according to the specific components they're for, especially if you had to tweak them. Symlinks help, too. Yeah, we really should write a footprint editing mode for pcb.
