Hi Tim,

I found it very annoying while developing the P&S, where I needed to 
very frequently rebuild and re-link a small part of pcbnew. My solution 
was to:
- exclude the P&S sources from CMakeLists.txt
- build the P&S using a standard makefile (using same compiler options 
as CMake)
- link it as a DLL with _pcbnew.kiface

By doing this, I only had to rebuild the P&S DLL (taking few seconds) 
instead of waiting ~2 minutes for the CMake to solve dependencies and 
GCC linker to produce new .kiface image.

It's just a dumb and ugly hack, but may help in some cases.

Cheers,
Tom
