I can't stand the reiteration of this stupid argument any longer.
Whoever offered me a page on gedasymbols, please do so now.
I'll provide my symbols and footprints with this features:

* symbols are smaller than the standard library

* all symbols and footprints are guaranteed to conform to IPC-7351B by 
definition
 with some shortcut-names as I like them as links

* where IPC-7351 doesn't define behaviour there is an auxiliarry 
document describing what is done

Download-count will decide, who is right.
