Hmm, I would just add the library manually in eeschem under
Preferences/Library/Add. Don't forget to "Save Cfg".

I didn't put that one into SVN since it's generated from gta02-core.
But it may make things easier if it's there as well, so I've added it
now. We can clean up the build process later. (There are also a few
things I'd like to change in KiCad to make it better batch-able, so
that will be a good moment.)

That's to be expected, yes. The names of items from the expanded library
are prefixed with an X (to prevent KiCad from confusing them with the
non-expanded items).

If you check out gta02-core-expanded.lib, everything should be fine.
(Or so I hope ;-)
