gEDA-user: [pcb] how to make pad on two sides, no drill

You want an edge connector pattern.  Vanessa has one on her
gedasymbols page:

Just give the corresponding top and bottom pads the same number.  Not
sure what DRC or rats would do with it, but at least you can get the
right footprint that way.
