Eagle to KiCAD Library Conversion

MeowCAD uses an older version of KiCAD's board format and it's useful for MeowCAD to have a conversion from Eagle the older KiCAD version. In addition, it's useful to add some 'default' components and footprints from some hobby friendly (and open source hardware friendly) companies like Adafruit, SparkFun and Dangerous Prototypes.

The main repo that was used was a fork of DanChianucci's Eagle2Kicad tool. I modified this slightly to be more command line friendly. The source is available at my Eagle2Kicad GtiHub.

Converted are available in the MeowCAD website source but can also be found in the Open-Hardware-Libraries source.
