Thanks, that looks useful.

I'm trying to write a separate test application that hooks into the PCB
parsing code to be able to, say, parse a module 1,000,000 times and time
it. However, as this code lives in pcbnew_kiface, which is compiled as a
module, I can't link with it. The only other test programs I can see use
common, so they can link.

What would be the right way to get test code to use pcbnew functions
like this?  Add directly into pcbnew and ifdef it out, in which case it
will bitrot in its ifdef prison? Or is there a way to do this over
KiWay, and make it buildable in normal configurations too, without
having to rebuild pcbnew do the tests?

Thanks,

John
