Except that in EAGLE you can set all sorts of parameters in the DRC that
actually do change how the Gerbers get generated. For example, that is where
you go to select which vias get tented, what kind of blind/buried vias are
allowed, what thermals look like, and other things like that. It is more
`design rules' than `check.'

I don't know how to widen pads that way but I can believe that you can.
