There is the sheet explaining the footprints I read to learn the 
footprints ... you learn it and writing footprints by hand is pretty 
easy until you get up to parts with dozens of pins.

You want to read the section called "pad" in the document 
"land_patterns" found on this page:

http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/

You write the footprints in text and achieve an incredible level of 
control and precision.  After doing a few footprints the process becomes 
second nature (or close).  Save the text files as name_of_footprint.fp 
in your personal footprints directory.

best, phil
