Good to hear.

Other than semi-automated, mostly scripted, painting of the outline shapes,
as done in this case, there is no elegant way to express this sort of pad
design or do achieve this sort of shape routinely in either kicad or
geda-pcb that I am aware of.

Eagle's file format does support polygonal copper pad shapes, but this is
not used often in footprints, AFAICT.

Cheers,

Erich.
