Completely agree.

What sch2pcb wants is to find common.m4 and the footprint files.
But how?

1, the dirname trick:
 $(dirname $(dirname $(which pcb)))/share/pcb
 followed by m4, pcblib-newlib alt. newlib depending of what
 we are looking for

2, convince pcb devs. to add some cmdline option like
 $ pcb --libpath
 /usr/local/share/pcb

3, test /usr /usr/local etc. for share/pcb/m4/common.m4 etc.

Any other ideas ?
