Most of the modifications are now in the version at 
http://dlharmon.com/geda/footgen.html. See the comments at the beginning 
of the code for details. I did drop the part that offsets the part width 
on by 30 mils to maintain compatibility with old files. I also applied a 
few bugfixes that had been sent to me. Any future features or bugfixes 
are welcome.
