I'd like to announce that I'm writing some code to help checking/fixing 
some KLC footprints.

https://github.com/michal777/KiCad_Lib_Check/blob/master/lib_check.c


The program takes .kicad_mod files from given location and checks some 
of rules line by line. If there are no tests for some kind of line or 
the line is OK then it's copied to temporary file. If there is some 
problem, eg. wrong line width for courtyard, program suggests fixing it 
and in this case changes the line width (copies modified line). If user 
accepts changes, the temporary file is copied to original file.
It's easy to use and can ease finding and fixing some common problems.
At the moment it can fix: name, reference, value, font size, courtyard 
line width, silkscreen line width, unnecessary lines (rotation 
allowance, clearance specified at footprint level), path to 3D model (if 
exists but with wrong name). More tests can be added.
