Followup:

      Since my initial "out of the box" Winbuilder initial compiles - I've
been hacking the mingw, makefile, and wxpython environment (along with
other modifications) which did not work in order to compile with a newer
GCC and newer Wxpython.  I've since backed that out -- and ran a
mingw32-make clean from the build directory.  The latest time I built with
SCRIPTING on - I no longer see a shared library error.  Not sure what the
effective change was - but reporting everything is OK.

      I can now run pcbnew, etc. with full scripting on.

      As far as general functionality - with scripting on or off I've been
seeing pcbnew crash when I close pcbnew.  I do not have a debug trace.

Regards,
Jason
