You could start writing a new top level wxPython based project manager.  I have this to do
for milestone C) of modular kicad.  For now, simply duplicate the functionality of the
kicad.exe program.

At some point I would take it over and inject the DLL/DSO bridging.  Until then, you could
wrap the program launching code in a function which can be redone later.

Add menus for project neutral utilities, and wxpython plugins, bridges to other open
source programs, etc.
