Question about kiface-d executables

 

Did the merge. Really less painful than I tought...

Taking for example pcbnew (which IIRC is the only complely kifaced yet)
it builds in pcbnew:

- pcbnew 
- _pcbnew.kiface
- _pcbnew.so

(also this is a non-scripting build; it says it can't find swig... do
I need to upgrate do 3.0?)

So the first file is the executable (smallish), the second one (bigger)
is the DSO containing the actual pcbnew program (I think)... what's the
last .so for?

Also what are the rules it uses for finding the kiface DSO? some libexec
path, looks around argv[0] or what?

Seems to work fine at the moment, anyway (only a few assertions about
absolute paths to investigate)
