Hi all,

lately there was some activity on collecting footprint generators, so I'd 
add mine to the list. It's part of a bigger happening in pcb-rnd:
  - cleaning up newlib
  - replacing the m4 footprint generator with a language-neutral mechanism

Although the main goal of the resulting footprint generators are to be the 
parametric footprints in pcb-rnd, they are not specific to pcb-rnd. So far 
I'm mostly done with the infrastructure and the first generator 
(connector()). I plan to write generators for SO*, DIP*, ACY*, RCY* and 
maybe 1206-like 2 pad SMTs.

On-line web test (with downloadable footprint file and a png render; 
temporary also serves as documentation):
