1) select all components. You may shut of all layers except silk so the 
select tool doesn't catch tracks.

3) chose 
	select -> change_size_of_selected_objects -> Pins_+10_mil
   You may rip off the sub menu at the dashed line to make it stay 
   on the screen for convenient repeated application.

3a) Alternatively, issue an action command: Type a colon to open the 
command line. In the command line type 
	ChangeSize(SelectedPins, SIZE)
   Replace SIZE with the desired size, given in 1/100 mil. 1mm = 3937
   If SIZE is prefixed by "-" the size is decreased. If the prefix is 
   "+", the size is increased. If there is no sign, it is interpreted
   as an absolute value.

Refer to the pcb manual for the syntax of the ChangeSize action:
http://pcb.gpleda.org/pcb-cvs/pcb.html#ChangeSize-Action

If this helps, I'll add it as a pcb-tip to wiki.
