I was looking at the source code, and I have the impression that
polygons are possible in footprints, though only rectangular ones.

I'm somewhat confused about the workings of PCB in this aspect - I
suspect this has something to do with the complexity of rotation etc.
Probably someone is needed to code complex polygon rotations...
