I just upgraded this morning and the -5 build of wxWidgets has already
been released.  I'll give the msys2 folks credit, they get things fixed
very quickly given the size and scope of the project.

I really am impressed by what the msys2 project has accomplished.  It
certainly makes life easier building KiCad on windows.  There already is
a PKGBUILD file for kicad which I created for the msys2 project.  It
should be as simple as running a nightly build using makepkg-mingw.
Unfortunately, it's an all in one package which includes the docs and
libraries so it's rather larger.  The msys2 folks seemed to prefer that
I package kicad that way so I didn't argue with them about it.  For our
purposes, we could split the package any way we prefer.
