I have done so, does it needed updated to reflect the high resultion version 
of PCB from CVS?

My ~gEDA/0805 footprint looks like this, which has a lot more zeros than your 
examples:

Element[0x00000000 "0805" "R104" "10k" 197500 35000 -27500 -2500 0 100 
0x00000000]
(
	Pad[-1700 -3200 1700 -3200 3600 3000 3600 "1" "1" 0x00000100]
	Pad[-1700 3200 1700 3200 3600 3000 3600 "2" "2" 0x00000100]
	ElementLine [-4500 -6000 4500 -6000 1000]
	ElementLine [-4500 -6000 -4500 6000 1000]
	ElementLine [-4500 6000 4500 6000 1000]
	ElementLine [4500 -6000 4500 6000 1000]
)

Thank you.  Whats the best way to convert all of my parts?

None of the ~gEDA PCB footprints have the soldermask openings?
I have to  recreate every single footprint to use them?
