ImportGUI() says "Load Schematics" but cannot do multiple selections

[Dan White]

The PCB file format and Import() action support multiple schematic files, but ImportGUI() only handles single files

It is a common (for me at least) use case to have a board design live in multiple schematics. Giving ImportGUI() the ability to select multiple files and record appropriate "import::srcN" attributes would be nice.

The attached patch does just this. It adds as a side effect a new "ghid_dialog_file_select_multiple()" function to make it happen. It does not setup the dialog with schematic filetype filters.

The patch also lives on my pcb fork at repo.or.cz as (currently) commit e41cbedf4e2bc34f556545c180a006c8e7dc9e34

Thanks for this Patch! Very helpfull for me.
I have replaced g_object_set (dialog, "select-multiple", TRUE); by gtk_file_chooser_set_select_multiple(dialog, TRUE); because it throws a warning at my system.
