Yet another suggestion:

Add the ability to make thru hole pins oblate on the solder side. This 
facilitates manual soldering and still allows for a signal or two to 
go between two pins.

In pcb pins can only have a round shape. But there is a trick. You can 
add a pad with the same 

See my DIP footprints for an example:

(The oblate pins do not show in the preview of gedasymbols.org. 
Probably, because they are on the bottom layer, only.)
