Well, I've seen a lot of 0603 footprints. What's the difference?

You may be able to answer a question about the PCB element format. The 
file-format docs say,

Pad             = "Pad(" X1 Y1 X2 Y2 Thickness Name PinNumber Flags ")"

but looking in 
/usr/local/share/pcb/newlib/generic_SMD_packages/SOT-23_Transistor I 
see:

Pad(38 -67 38 -75 28 30 58 "B" "1" 0x00000100)

Am I missing something or are there extra numbers in here?  I don't feel 
like hacking around to find out... I'll prepare a documentation patch if 
someone can tell me what the numbers are for.

Regards,
Mark
