Is anyone familiar with Fritzing?

I'm trying to fab up a PCB with an ADXL325 accelerometer, only I have the accelerometer as a base chip, not a pre-supplied breakout board.

I'm trying to maybe just do a generic part, but the ADXL325 is a LFCSP-16 chip which I can't find a "generic" PCB component for.

I'm aware that I might have to create one myself, but I'm hoping someone knows where I can find one before I have to learn to create custom ICs.

Unfortunately at this point in time the Fritzing parts library and parts creation interface are atrociously bad. I have a few friends who swear by it but really don't use anything more than common through hole components and so don't run into these common issues.

The best luck I've had so far is looking through the 'issue' that fritzing has set up for people to submit their additions to at http://code.google.com/p/fritzing/issues/detail?id=875
