I can't be bothered creating an account on snap eda, but it appears to
export in both Eagle and Kicad format, which my utilities will convert, in
a mostly lossless way, except for polygonal SMD pads (occasionally seen in
Eagle libs, the utility will flag it), and Bezier lines (rare, not yet
encountered in the wild).

I'm currently merging the KicadModule2GEDA and KicadSymbol2GEDA
functionality into translate2geda. The translate2geda utility will also
convert vendor BXL files.

translate2geda worked quite happily with Kicad formats exported from
madparts.org the last time I tried. Someone needs to write some python so
that madparts can also export geda formatted files.

Regards,

Erich.
