There is a ULP in Eagle called change-pad-in-lbr.ulp
You open a library, run the ULP and specify pad shape and size. The ULP
will whip through your library making the changes for you.
It seems to leave SMT devices alone.
this is probably not reversible so copy ythe specific components into a
special library first
