See

   https://github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints

for a quick initial attempt I made at manual preparation this morning.  It allows:

1) quick copying and pasting of (fp_lib_table) element from HTML view at bottom of page
into a blank row of DIALOG_FP_LIB_TABLE.

2) has hyperlinks to every *raw* format pretty file, (which when someone adds (module)
s-expr clipboard pasting support to module editor, could be copied and pasted from
webbrowser into module editor.)  This offers yet another way just to grab one footprint
without bringing in the whole library as in 1) above.
