FYI.  Using the msys2/mingw64 builds of wxWidgets 3.0.2-3, wxWidgets is
compiled with -std=gnu++11 which breaks the KiCad build.  I'm guessing
that KiCad will build with the -std=gnu++11 option but I haven't tried
it yet.  I filed a bug report so I'm guessing it will be fixed soon so
you may run into problems.  You can always downgrade the wxWidgets
package to 3.0.2-2.
