For Cases, pads, etc., you can also refere to:

pcb-fpw is open source, so it would be possible to modify add it to the kicad
suite .. seems to be
written in java-bloat..
No, it's buggy plain C with GTK :P
It actually contains a lot of hardwired size, too:P
The separate names for a cap and resistor 0805 package is silly
Actually it isn't... a ceramic cap has round plating, a chip resistor is an
attached foil... I presume the mechanical properties are different (indeed the
pads are different, too)
The M,N,and L are for most, Nominal and least -- describes most compromises
folks would run into..
You forgot Proportional for THT, too... and the Nominal one is good for 90% of
the production projects, IMHO...
One thing to point out is these case sizes originate in metric - the imperial
notation is approximate.
*Most* case size originate in metric:D
