Here it comes, raised from the dead, the new UI for symbol library
editor [1]!

KiCad is a really fast moving target, so it has taken me plenty of time
to rebase the branch. Actually there is a completely new approach
inside, I hope it will be more robust.

I still need to replace the head commit, as it has not got Wayne's
approval, but it should not be a huge change. What I need now is a few
brave testers, as I would like to merge the code as soon as I fix the
problematic commit.

Regards,
Orson
