On my list of things to do is a big library cleanup.  In CVS, there are 
good footprints in ~geda for things like 0603 which follow the IPC 
naming conventions.  I suppose my next step should be to kill all of the 
others.

I'll see if I can come up with a game plan over the holidays for how to 
finally address this whole library issue.  I want to try and get a 
roadmap in place so we can hopefully see a way to get where we want to 
go without taking too many wrong turns along the way.  Look for 
something in another 6 weeks or so.
