Hi Wayne,

Yes, I used the PART_LIBS object, as it seemed to be used everywhere
else. Obviously, I will adjust my code when SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE is ready,
but I would prefer to do it after it is adopted by other components.
This way I will have some examples that I could read, and
SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE is likely to be well tested, so I am going to have less
doubts when I face problems.

Cheers,
Orson
