The Fedora packager will be please to easy the kicad packaging...

For Fedora users, use "yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing kicad" to 
install this package.

This patch is to fix the problem with linking the kicad provided kbool library.
This is strange..., I was sure to post a message on this list to send this 
patch, but I don't find this message, so, I attach it now.

No relevant with the upstream tarball.

This file was introduced sometime ago by another packager. It seems it fix a 
problem when building differents architechtures.
Actually, this file contains only the string "/usr/lib/kicad" and is modified, 
via spec file, in "/usr/lib64/kicad" when the built is for x86_64 arch.

kicad-2010.03.14-link-fixes.patch, yes,
kicad-2010.03.14-fix-demos-install.patch, certainely not ;-)
and kicad-ld.conf, I don't know...
