Beyond making qf.awk ready to use minimally, looking at this shows
how attributes-per-object of layout can go farther.
 
If you created a new layer solderpaste that would allow fully following guidelines for qfn.
Another way is add attributes per pad about what paste shrink or bloat is and generate
past as a post processing layer of rs274-x
 
I like the idea of generating both soldermask and solderpaste from pads, vias with attributes on them.
Seems better than having to learn to think of separately editing those layers.
 
I don't seen any lihata name=vlaue pairs in the .pcb file yet.  Is that coming soon?
