Your patch fails to build using swig 3.0.6 on windows due to the
comments you added to kicadplugins.i.  Here is the output:

C:/msys64/home/wstambaugh/src/kicad/product/pcbnew/../scripting\kicadplugins.i(101)

I tried using the recommended %{ %} to wrap the comments.  It built fine
but crashed when I ran it.  Your best bet is to get rid of the comments
or figure out the proper swig technique for wrapping python comments.  I
tried removing the comments and it worked fine.  You also have some
coding policy violations ( missing spaces before and after parenthesis )
that need to fixed.
