Bug Description

Importing a footprint from gEDA yields the wrong drill size for the footprint.

The attached file does not import quite correctly. Example pins focused on pin 6 (qty 2, left and right)

From the gEDA file format PDF,
Pin [rX rY Thickness Clearance Mask Drill "Name" "Number" SFlags]
Pin (rX rY Thickness Clearance Mask Drill "Name" "Number" NFlags)

In the attached file, one of the pins is:

 Pin[-22000 0 10000 3000 10600 8000 "6" "6" "edge2"]

Which should be x=-220mil, y=0mil, 100mil thickness, 30mil clearance, 106mil mask opening, 80mil drill.

However in kicad this imports as a 100mil pad with a 30mil drill, I'll attach a picture as a follow-on.

This is a low priority bug to me, as I'm manually checking the pads drills anyway.
