It seems to be correct in gerbv, although I have never figured out how
gerbv seems to guess the size of component box it previews the XY file
with. (Not read the source either though).

Gerbv draws a box approximately the right size for the component, and it
is placed correctly with the pads. The only buglet (and I'm probably
just not using the lastest gerbv here), is that vertically oriented
resistors are still drawn with a horizontal box.
