I don't see how a switch to prefer user provided footprints would
break the work-flow of a reasonable current set-up. The behavior only 
changes if the user provides footprints with the same name as in the 
system library. This would be ignored by current pcb. What reasonable 
use case would call for local ignored footprints?
