what I put together was a short awk script and a text database.  The 
database had 1 line per part.  Each line had a field specifying the part 
type (npn vs pnp), the footprint, and the mapping from E, B, C to the 
footprint pin.  The awk script read that and took a template npn and pnp 
symbol and creates a bunch of heavy symbols that have the right pinout.

Works pretty well, its very easy to add more transistors, and it would 
be easy enough to extend that idea to more than just bipolars.
