Hello All

Just thought I'd raise something. It seems that the time between 
releases is lengthening as more work is being done to make things much 
better. I did once manage to build a fresh version of KiCAD on ubuntu 
and was very pleased with the progress but this was the only way of 
getting the most up to date features. I have since abandoned ubuntu 
(thout shalt now screw with my hardware thank you on pain of being 
removed !) and have tried to build the latest version on windows to no 
avail. I'm no programming expert (mcu's in arduino is my limit so far) 
but I'm no idiot and can follow instructions but instructions for 
windows builds seem to lack and everything bangs on about ubuntu.

Is there any chance of making it easier to build KiCAD on windows or am 
I missing some information out there ?

Thanks for all your work,

Simon
