While on this subject, does anyone know of a website which gives
pad/soldermask dimensions for the JEDEC standard footprints (or Euro
equivalents)?

The Philips Semiconductors web site is pretty good for footprint info. Also
if you hunt hard enough you will find a request form that you can fill in
for a free paperback book that has most of the IC footprints and lots of
other info. 'Integrated Circuit Packages, Data Handbook IC26'. They
certainly reference the JEDEC standard on most of the footprints, I can't
say if they actually conform. My professional layouts are done by an outside
contractor, on my private jobs I adjust the pad sizes to make hand soldering
easier.
