Kicad has the benefit of storing footprints and schematic symbols separately.

I'll show you how to use it one day if you want?

Whilst I join Ryan in preferring KiCAD; a good source for Eagle parts
is RS's ModlesSource
http://designspark.com/eng/edaComponentFinder/SearchForm you have to
sign-up for a free account; but they seem to have DIP and SMD versions
of the MCP23017.

It's in the Adafruit library here:

Farnell provide a lot of EAGLE templates. For just about every
component in their catalog I'd say. Look about half way down
the product description page just above Legislation and
Enviromental.

You'll need to register of a free account to retrieve the
files if I remember rightly, and it's a script you run within
eagle to generate the actual data. It's a bit of a faff but
they explain how,
