This works fine within PCB.

Btw, the exact terminal block I needed did come with PCB.

/usr/local/pcb_lib/connectors/3terminal_screw_block

Its still not clear to me how to make a new FOOTPRINT on per project
basis for gschem2pcb automation. I realize I could mess with the system
wide pcb files under:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/pcb/m4

Creating a custom .list, .m4, and .inc. Followed by modifications to
common.m4 to include the fresh .inc file. Seems like enugh work, that
I'm taking the wrong approach.

Is anyone able to easily able to generate fresh footprints for usage
within gschem and PCB without this sort of system wide hackery?
