Hi Wayne,

Sorry, I've been really busy doing other stuff, but the CMake stuff is
underway: https://github.com/BrianSidebotham/kicad-doc

It's still experimental and not fully functional yet, but it can now
progress better. Nick has fixed the msys2 KiCad-Winbuilder which was
broken for a while and had me stumped! That project is now close to
being able to provide decent installers. At the moment it can create
the installers, but I think there's still some outstanding work to
make the installers complete.

Hopefully I'll be able to get the CMake stuff up and running pretty
soon. I'll concentrate on Linux and then make sure things work through
msys2. PDF generation under msys2 is a pain, but could be possible
through either asciidoctor-pdf or else a2x and Apache fop.

Best Regards,

Brian.
