Argh, the braces ! This one puts them at the beginning of the line.
Sorry about that.

---------------------------------- cut here -----------------------------------

This patch adds a command-line option --plot to eeschema that makes it
run File -> Plot -> Plot PostScript -> Plot ALL on the specified file.
It also prevents eeschema from opening a window and from checking for
concurrent instances.

This lets shell scripts generate plots, i.e., of schematics that have
been processed by these scripts.

Known issue: if there is an error or a warning, eeschema will bring up
a dialog instead of just exiting.

This patch is for KiCad SVN revision 1771.
