Sam,
we went through this exercise earlier this year. We had the same problem.
We ended up creating a dummy 3rd party netlist with "THEIR" footprints,
imported the netlist and placed the parts.
Then export the placement and generate dxf files containing info such as
pins, assy top, silk etc.
Open a new board, make sure you point to your library and import the
netlist and placement file. Then import the
dxf file you generated.
This will allow you to overlay the components and see which ones are
different. Grab a MFG-EE and
seperate the good and the bad.
Hope this helps
Andy

For now I've exported their libraries into local directory and will start
from there, since I'm told it needs to be done soon. Eventually we will
rename their parts and enter them into our database. We have four sites
and someone doesn't want to play by our rules, or maybe its the other way
around (power struggle).
