IPC7351B (waiting for C revision publication) covers all the SMD footprints.
Here
(http://www.pcblibraries.com/forum/uploads/3/Preferences_Zero_Component_Orientation_2.png)
is a screenshot of the component types (they seems a lot but actually
you can do everything with 4-5 generators varying the parametrization). 

IPC7251 (unpublished, yet seems in use anyway) covers the THT
footprints.

Most of the 7351B is about the correct size and position of pads to get
good soldering. 7251 is mostly about the relationship between pin size,
drill diameter and pad size.

The unpublished 7351C will also have rules for silk, fabrication and refid
drawing and size. They leaked out with some presentation for the working
group.
