there is a QFP-240 in the geda library

already there in the geda library.

looks like there is an LQFP and QFP 100 pin also in the geda library.


*please* give any footprint there a sanity check yourself.  I'd love to
get around to making a database that somehow lets users indicate that
a particular footprint have been verified through fabrication, but 
have some issues to work out on that front first.

Note:  especially with some of the more modern packages, there are often
times packages which are different mechanically but have the _same_ name
by different vendors.  Doh!  So, you should check your pin pitch at the
very least.
