I agree with this ... there's no point in reinventing the wheel.
However, when an install of pcb comes with a warning that there are
errors in the m4 libraries, yet doesn't say what footprints have
errors (not to mention: why haven't these errors been fixed?), leads
one to simply not trust the provided libraries at all.

Yes, if there are errors, there should be a bug filed in the tracker
at pcb.sf.net. That's what I did when I encountered footprint bugs,
and they were fixed quickly. So maybe rather than a heroic effort to
proofread all the footprints, we should encourage users to file bugs
on them if they find a problem. Then the offending footprints can be
fixed or removed.
