Anyone have an Eagle library for Soviet K176-series ICs?

I figure it is a long shot, but it never hurts to ask. I've been
thinking about re-drawing the Elektronika 7 family schematics in a
style more understandable to Western readers. This will involve (at a
minimum) not splitting a single connector onto multiple pieces of the
schematic, showing all the connector pins in sequence on the
schematic, clarifying when a bus is used (right now, it is a line the
same width as a single connection with numbers noted in a random
position when a signal enters / exits the bus), showing Western ground
and +V symbols instead of just labeling wire ends A abd B. And of
course, I'd change all of the comments and notes to English, leaving
only the part numbers in Russian.
K176 databook here: http://www.tmk.com/transient/k176-data.pdf
A typical "problem" schematic: http://www.tmk.com/blog/elektronika-schematic.jpg
Has anyone ever tried this before, and maybe has some leftover
libraries that would help?
If I get that far, I could also use a library with IV-6, IV-26 (type
1, 2, and 3), and IV-17. But I could create those myself - it is the
work of getting the ICs and their functions in that I'd rather not
repeat if it is available.

Although I cannot give you any information re Eagle I would say apart from translating into English leave it as it is.
"style more understandable to Western readers" Who does not understand this format?
"numbers noted in a random position when a signal enters / exits the bus" The numbers are in numerical order from each connector, as they SHOULD be.
"showing all the connector pins in sequence" No the BUS lines should be in sequence (see above) as they are.
"not splitting a single connector onto multiple pieces of the schematic" Not a problem, that's schematics for you, still easy to follow and the ic's functions would NOT normally be put on the schematic (would be difficult as their pin outs are not in 'component' order unless you're planning to rearrange the bus order and make it more difficult to read)
If you want to see all the CONNECTOR pins in numerical order then see a wiring diagram. Don't know about anyone else (here) but to me, and I'm in the UK, that is a standard type schematic. I used to build/service electric trains and can show you schematics from British Rail from the 60's/70's right through to today that use the same format. Just a thought Terry but 'Re-invent the wheel' comes to mind, if anyone struggles to read the example schematic they just need to brush up on their digram reading skills.
P.s. it WOULD be great in English ;)

It is possible that I'm just not expressing my goals clearly. If I do

re-draw the schematics, I'll let the group know, so people can
evaluate the result for themselves.
