Nick's been doing all the hard work on OCE + MSYS2 issues; I'm pretty
awful at working within MSYS2 and it doesn't help that the MSYS2
ecosystem is frequently broken. I was finally able to build OCE and
the plugins on MSYS2 about a week ago only to discover catastrophic ABI
incompatibilities between wxWidgets and the newly compiled software.
I have no doubt these issues will be resolved before the next release
thank's to Nick's persistence, and I keep in touch on IRC and try to
help out however I can. Having the code in the main branch is a huge
help though; some OSX devs in particular had been cursing me due to
numerous problems with building the plugin out of the tree but building
the same code from within the kicad tree was painless.
