I know the KiCad-Winbuilder is sort of off topic here, but since it
was mentioned; I will need to mention that the installer script still
needs some work. For example I need to figure out how to handle the
KISYSMOD and KISYS3DMOD variables. Currently they are set as from the
build host, which is bad, because those are invalid for others than
the builder. I started another thread regarding that issue.
