[Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@xxxxxxxxx>]

The problem this fixes will not be fixed by Henner's search dialog
because the lag is due to the loading of the all footprints in the fp
lib table.  Henner's search dialog will need the entire list of
footprint in order for the search to be effective.  The footprint
browser solves this problem because it uses lazy loading.  I'll go ahead
an commit the patch is unless someone objects.
