I should mention that _pcbnew.kiface should in theory link on Windows, and run.

You'd be the first to test it though, so use a Debug build so any asserts can fire.

The command line loading of a board is not there.  If you want contribute, you can rename
the PCB_EDIT_FRAME:: function which currently loads a board, and make it conform to the
contract of OpenProjectFiles() found in KIWAY_PLAYER class.  It has to replace the default
implementation in KIWAY_PLAYER so get all the parameters of the function correct so the
default one gets displaced.

Then you should be able to load a BOARD from the command line.

Us linux guys will have to wait.

Thanks for anyone's help.
