Ok, well good to know there are people developing Kicad, anyway. So far i think its pretty good.

I read though all the comments in here and it didn't help me much.

My work-around was to just make a file and fill it with the following code.
Now you have a lib with just one part, which is a hole.
Add your modules to this lib. Later on you can edit the file and delete the hole part of the module.

Let us know if it works for you.
