I came across something called "expressSCH" and
"expressPCB".  Go here to download it.
http://www.expresspcb.com/ExpressPCBHtm/Download.htm  It has
a nice collection of connector symbols, it's free for the
downloading and is very easy to use.  You can create your
symbols at will.  It already has a fat library of symbols
for connectors, and AVR's too BTW.
