Why aren't luciani's footprints included in the standard distribution? The
more symbols the program has the more useful it is. I suggest luciani's
footprints to be added into PCB.

I suggest also "Finally, a special-purpose website has been created to
distribute gEDA symbols and footprints: http://www.gedasymbols.org/, but
it currently needs donations." to be deleted from
http://geda.seul.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=geda:pcb_tips
because the site is not a repository of symbols and footprints,
despite claiming so. It doesn't contain either of them.
