Yeah, grab the latest nightly. Much of the library editing is totally reworked and VASTLY easier to use. As in, create a library, then add components to it, or import from another library and edit. It will also automatically prompt if you want to add it to the current project or globally. (I'd recommend against globally though. Ever.)
There are many other improvements too, for example the gerb viewer is totally redone and actually usable (though bare bones).
