I committed the first version of a wizard to manage the footprint
library table dialog editor.
It help users to select the right plugin, an existing environment
variable or an absolute path, and add a list of new entries to the table.
Note: the wxWidgets webkit/webview library is needed.
On windows,there is no problem.
On Linux,  the webkitgtk-devel tool (sudo apt-get install
libwebkitgtk-dev) must be installed if it is missing (and wxWidgets
rebuilt after running configure.).
See:
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_web_view.html

However, to avoid use of wxwebview, if it creates issues, you can
compile kicad with cmake option -DKICAD_USE_WEBKIT=OFF.
But the github plugin wizard will be not fully available.

Currently this option is ON.
OSX testers are welcome.
