Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The documentation says: "To give SKiDL some part libraries to work with, you'll also need to install KiCad." https://github.com/devbisme/skidl/blob/62c8464d5be9ea335efd879c93b75d701ba60275/docs/index.html#L226

But If I just download the library from: https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-symbols and point the environment variable to it, skidl works fine.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like the documentation to state that there is an alternative to downloading KiCAD if you just want the libraries.
