I'm trying to do ESKD (exUSSR standards for design documentation and
technical drawing)-compliant symbols for gschem and encountered with such
problem: in ESKD are using metric sizes for graphical symbols, so place
components pins on 100 mils grid either difficult (for something like JFET
symbol: http://i.imgur.com/b2P56qH.png) or practically impossible (for trimming
resistor symbol: http://i.imgur.com/ZGbXqav.png)

So i must either use a custom grid size (40 mils) with scale 100 points = 2,5mm
or recompile gEDA because at scale 100 points = 1 mm hardwired sizes for
pins, nets and junctions became too small.

Is there exist a more elegant solution?
