If you're using KiCad, and you agree with devbisme that the native library editor of kicad sucks donkeys, check out his KiPart utility.
No more clicking and digging through dialogs. Just use a spreadsheet to define the name and number of each pin, and where you want to have them on your part.
The command line tool takes care that the part ends up in your library of choice.
