the translate2geda utility has addressed this problem of odd pin spacing by
being able to generate a symbol and a new bounding box from a list of pins
with specified spacing, if told to do so (WIP).

Once I roll the kicad converter code into translate2geda, I will be able to
allow this as an option, plus, I could add some heuristics to determine if
there is an optimal magnification ratio to effect sane pin spacings.

The worst offending kicad symbols seem to be those converted to kicad from
Eagle.

The problem with re-spacing a symbol's pins, or exporting tragesym or
similar definitions, is you may lose appropriate positioning of additional
drawn eye candy, i.e. the symbol in the middle of a mixer module.

I will add export of a symbol definition format(s), as you suggest, as this
should not be too hard with my pinlist data structure.

Cheers,

Erich.
