Thanks, Russel.

I tried to test if on Windows (W7, 32 bits) but unfortunately it crashes (segmentation fault) on
opening a .sch Eagle file (I tried 2 files found on the Web).
(The corresponding board files can be opened)

Otherwise, the selection of .sch file format (Kicad/Eagle) is made in the open sch file dialog.

I am not sure this is a good ides because:
- In a similar case we already have issues on OSX for Pcbnew:
the file format selection did not work when the files have the same extension (.brd files that can
be a Eagle file or a old Kicad file).
(It was solved only by using 2 separate dialogs)
- Users are not aware of this selection, that is not really obvious.

So I am thinking a separate menu (like in Pcbnew) one to read kicad files and one to import Eagle
schematics is more suitable.
