Oliver,

I'm not sure we need a special pin for connectors.  I'm no opposed to it
but will the vast majority of users want a standardized connector type
pin?  In any event, there is a freeze on the schematic and symbol
library file formats until the new file formats are written (hopefully I
will be able to start on that after the v5 release) so this would have
to be added as part of the new file format if we decide that this is
something we want.

Cheers,

Wayne
