I am afraid this could creates some troubles with old kicad users.
In particular, when updating and old kicad tree which have footprints in 
kicad/modules, if a new library/footprints is created,
where pcbnew or cvpcb must look for footprints ? (assuming the old user 
does not delete one directory.)
And how an user knows the directory beeing really used ?
