Thank-you for the thanks Miguel. It took a long while to get wxPython
(well, wxWidgets converted to CMake), and there's still a lot of work left
to do. The MSVC build still fails for wxPython, but I just need to abstract
the compiler flags, so it should be relatively painless to do.

Documentation will be great! I think it's going to be badly needed.

If we could host the API documentation on kicad-pcb.org, and along with
that have somewhere people/users can collaborate and put their own plugins
that would be great. I think we need to create somewhere to collate users
efforts for scripts.

The problem with pycrust was a problem with the wxscintilla library
compilation, you can see the latest commit for the fix (and the bug report!
;). Merely some missing defines which tune scintilla for wx. Now that is
fixed I'm just rolling some replacement releases *yawn*.

Best Regards, Brian.
