I generally create footprints one at a time (for a specific component), not for an entire library at once. I do this with the wrench-shaped "Add Footprint to CAD Library" button.
 
On the rare occasion that I'm not in a big hurry, I will do generate the output script three times, once for each Density Level setting (Least, Nominal, Most.)
 
It would be nice if the "Create Footprint" dialog had a checkbox option to create all three density levels at once rather than just the single density level selected at the time.  If the created library included all three levels it would be easy to attach all three to a component at the time the component was created.

Sounds like a good idea, and why not output to 3 different libraries (least, nomínal and most) as icing on the cake.
