*Hat off, Dick.*

On W7, using mingw, I compiled and run Eeschema without any problem,
after a minor change in vector.h
(missing #include <vector> in vector.h, and I committed this change)

I have more trouble with bitmap2component,:
When compiled without "COMPILING_DLL" defined, I have the error message
you already know:

e:/kicad-launchpad/kiway/include/kiway.h:109:29: error: function
'KIFACE* KIFACE                             _1(int*, int, EDA_PGM*)'
definition is marked dllimport
 #define KIFACE_GETTER       KIFACE_1
                             ^
e:/kicad-launchpad/kiway/bitmap2component/bitmap2cmp_gui.cpp:616:19:
note: in ex                             pansion of macro 'KIFACE_GETTER'
 MY_API( KIFACE* ) KIFACE_GETTER(  int* aKIFACEversion, int
aKIWAYversion, EDA_P                             GM* aProcess )

If I define "COMPILING_DLL" for bitmap2cmp_gui.cpp, it compiles,links
and creates only bitmap2component.exe (as expected).

But when I run bitmap2component.exe, it complains for missing
_bitmap2component.kiface which, obviously, is not created.

Is it worth I spend some time about this issue ?

Thanks.
