This delete-wire behavior has been available in KiCad for as long as I've 
been using it, which is some time before the 2013-stable release.

Delete wire is on the delete button. and delete segment is on the backspace 
key.

Please do NOT change the behavior of the delete buton, it is used all the 
time.

junctions

I like the behavior of this patch, it seems a lot closer to how I'd expect
deleting wires to work. :)
