Why do you need different ones for cap, res, and ind?

Different component height. For example, for 0603, the IPC-7351
footprints are for the following component heights:
# 0603 (C = 0.85 mm high, L = 0.95 mm high, R = 0.60 mm high)
In this series of passives, some of the footprints are actually the same
(i.e. CAPCxxxx == INDCxxxx). The naming convention would seem to call
out that you should still use CAPC for your caps and INDC for your
inductors.

And just to add to this, there is no single "IPC one". In fact the
~geda library contains no less than 9 (!) IPC 0603 footprints. These are
CAPC1608L
CAPC1608N
CAPC1608M
INDC1608L
INDC1608N
INDC1608M
RESC1608L
RESC1608N
RESC1608M
which are for capacitors, inductors, and resistors respectively. the
L/N/M are for least/nominal/most. In addition, there is still just 0603
in ~geda. 0603 needed repair because the one which was there was not
large enough. That one has been updated to something representitive of
the "N" version.
