Yes, it is time consuming. But even with a commercial suite like protel it
was necessary to build a home grown library.

ack. It should be like that. But alas, there are different points of view
on how exactly a decent footprint should be specified. This is in
particular true for SMD components. That said, John L. does a fabulous job
with his script generated footprints. The collection at geda-symbols.org
is a good idea, too. I will contribute my share, once my first big geda
project has survived the reality check...
