Fixed! I'll release updated versions tomorrow (It takes a while to build
all the different versions and upload them to Launchpad!)

That means that KiCad build is fully successful as far as I've tested so
far.

We just need to sort out the readline module in Python-a-mingw-us.I'd like
to add the FindPythonLibs.cmake modules and what-not to that project too,
and do a debug version along with a source tarball. Then people can debug
their python modules through the python interpreter itself too. That really
helps when you're writing a module in C. I'll include an example module in
the install too.

Best Regards, Brian.
