As part of that renaming adventure with the Logitech Gamepad configuration, I realized I hadn’t put my version of Martin Shoeneck’s Eagle-to-HAL conversion script anywhere useful.

Herewith, the script that you’ll apply to schematics built with parts from the hal-config-2.4.lbr.odt library (which you must rename to get ride of the ODT extension):
