Hi all,

Stage 2 of ? of the library update project is underway.

Idea: A downloads page for the libraries that presents individual libraries
for download, and users can preview the data available in the libraries.

This is auto-built based on the latest library data.

Preview: https://kicad.github.io/symbols/

I have wrangled the GitHub pages tool along with Travis CI to auto-build
these pages. It provides compressed downloads of symbol libs thus far.

To do:

1. Downloads for footprint libs
2. Downloads for 3D models
3. Improve scripts so that data that have not changed are not recompressed
(reduce build time and also remove useless git updates)

Thoughts?

The general idea is that this page will be linked from
http://kicad-pcb.org/libraries/download

Cheers,
Oliver
