For generating .pretties, the following source might be interesting:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~oyvind-aabling/kicad-newlib/mod/files

Everything (including 3D-models) is generated from dimension files like

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~oyvind-aabling/kicad-newlib/mod/view/head:/modules/oaa_DIP.dim

Tools to modify these to .pretty and adding additional manufacturing
layers would be great.
