I just uploaded "exp-kicad-lib.ulp" under the rm_sharkey_libs folder int he
files section of the group.

This is a ULP script to export EAGLE PCB parts to KiCAD. To use, open EAGLE
PCB, load the library you're interested in, into the library editor, and then
run this ULP script.

It has one bug that I have not gotten around to fix yet (I did not write this
script). The bug is in selecting the correct layer for the pads. However,
even in it's current state, you can manually edit the KiCAD output and touch
up the pads using search and replace, just compare with a similar "good"
KiCAD lib and you'll see what has to be modifed. Asside from that, it does a
pretty good job of exporting.....maybe if someone has some time they could
tweek this script a bit to make it work better.

If you "cat" ("type" I guess in Windoze speak) the ulp script, you'll see an
email address "sdn@...". I suppose that's the author. I don't
really recall where I got that script. I dragged it down from the internet
somewhere a while ago.
