Thank you JP.  I appreciate the acknowledgment of my efforts.

There is still just a "bit" more to clean up to do in EESchema before I turn my
attention to PCBNew ;)  My next major milestone is to replace the all internal
linked lists with C++ containers in EESchema.  Most of the work I've done over
the last few months has been in preparation for that transition.
