No the GUI did. In that case I only specified
"../../../Projects/footprints/trunk" in the Preferences -> Library
dialogue (in others cases I tried to put an absolute path).

If nothing is specified then the default libraries are

d:\program files\geda\share\pcb\newlib
d:\program files\geda\share\pcb\pcblib-newlib

If I specify something, e.g. D:\Projects\footprints\trunk, the I get

Can't scan directory
   'd:\program files\geda\bin\..\share\pcb\pcblib-newlib:\Projects\footprints\trunk:d'

and the pcblib-newlib directory is not show in the library dialogue.
If I set a library director then there is a line in the
.pcb\preferences file which becomes

library-newlib = d:\Projects\footprints\trunk

Judging by the error message it looks like PCB builds a delimited list
of libraries at some point and thinks that "d:\foo" is actually two
libraries "d" and "foo" and you get a colon delimited list
"default-lib:foo:d" which the Windows build doesn't recognise as it
uses colons instead of semi-colons.
