[Russell Oliver <roliver8143@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have updated the patch to copy across the library tables and any library
files. At the moment instead of renaming footprint and schematic libraries
and updating the tables they are merely copied across without renaming
except for the symbol cache library. The tables are just copied across
also. It's probably sub optimal at this stage but it works since renaming
the libraries would also require remapping symbols and footprint to the new
library nicknames also.

Kind Regards
Russell
