You can often find a similar component in the libraries then just save it under a new name.
I sometimes don't even bother doing that I just use a similar component but add a label with the new name on it on the schematic.
I'm doing just that with one of my designs.
Learn how to make parts, once you do it enough times you get pretty quick at it.
Here's what I'd do:
- Open the library you want the new part to go in.
- Using the main Eagle window, browse through the libraries and find an existing library with a TO-220-5 package (there's gotta be one there somewhere). Right click on the package and click "copy to current library" (or whatever it is)
- Copy a suitable symbol - eg, a N-channel FET symbol for the 4020, to the current library.
- Open the symbol and make it into a double N-channel with 5 terminals.
- Hook the thing up in the part editor.
Done.
