I think the master branch already has enough new features to make its
output incompatible with v4. 'Offset' approach seems the easiest and
cleanest solution IMHO.
the 'offset' thing is creating a stopper for kicad 4 release as well as
i.e. rounded rectangle pad does... kicad 4 just would stop loading the
board....
but the offset is a very 'basic' feature compared to rounded rectangle
which is extremely rared used...
The new field 'offset' instead of 'at' or eventually the use of both
depending of the offset values in the descriptor seems top me a big
headache just to avoid the initial 'inconsistency' of a footprint
descriptor that had 'deci-mils' for a single internal field, but that
was just correctly managed by the sw...

I understand this will break "forwards compatibility" if opening a v5 file
from v4. Sometimes such changes are unavoidable.
