Thanks, Mathias! I'm looking forward to test that as soon as I can. (Currently a busy with commercial stuff.)

After reading the code, it seems that there is some more meat between the ribs necessary to make it work, but well, it's a start! I try to migrate some designs / libraries / library generators from my pricy PCB design tool where the latest versions implement roundrect pads to improve mfg yield a bit. If you need feedback how others are doing roundrect pads, we should have a chat. I.e. the Gerber output is assembled with a round flash with radius==radius of the roundrect and then rasterized/line filled across the pad shape both in x- as well as in y-direction. So, I know roundrects as basic library elements. Arbitrary pad shapes are treated differently / in a more complex manner.
