gEDA-user: pcb surface mount structural pad

[James Moody <moody@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm creating a newlib footprint for a surface-mount flex-pc connector.

The recommended pad pattern includes pads for each pin and two large 
solder pads for structural attachment. How does one designate these 
solder pads as not being connected to any network?  Is this done in the 
.fp file?  I read Stuart Brorson's excellent document "Footprint 
creation for the open-source layout program 'PCB'", but this particular 
situation is not covered.

Thanks.
