Done with that English documentation work and it is checked in, eeschema.pdf file
regenerated with up do date T.O.Contents.


It should now be possible to remove the C++ BOM code at any point now.

I still have plans to contribute a BOM generator in python, one that provides the one part
per row view like this XSLT style-sheet does, PLUS a collated set of rows at the bottom,
where all similar parts are combined onto one row with a fat column showing all
ref-designators of that part.


I have the above done in Java from years ago, but it is scanning the *.sch files, so it
needs to be:


a) converted to python,
b) use the intermediate netlist format instead of reading *.sch files.

Time permitting of course.
