Hi folks,

 Some assembly houses prefer to have a Pad1 location in addition
to the part centroid location; this makes the orientation of the
component unambiguous and can help in cases where the user's
footprint doesn't align with the tape orientation of a component.
Would this be a useful addition to the placement file or are there
any objections to it?
