Hi Dick,

Thanks. It should give the KiCad project a bit of a teflon coating for
casual builders as you can just point them to the other project.
Developers should still be sorting out their own build environment
based upon their preferences and the build instructions under the
Documentation folder in the KiCad source.

This could help people who want to stay more current than the stable
builds. It should be as easy as checking it out and building with a
single command.

I will start work on a cross compiled version for linux soon. I am
currrently running Ubuntu as my linux box.

Best Regards,

Brian.
