What do you mean by a second target? Keep in mind that we don't want to
recompile everything twice just because of the kiface libraries. If you can
create a target which is dependent on the pcbnew stand-alone app and
which used the object files to create a shared library, that would be good.
I can't recall offhand if some object files would need to be rebuilt for
the kiface library, but that can be handled by CMake as well.

Regarding  KiCad using pcbnew.kiface directly, I suspect the intention was for
pcbnew to use that library regardless of whether it was run via the KiCad
application or as the pcbnew standalone application. On that topic I'd rather
do nothing until KiCad could be refactored to the point where a core pcb API
is completely independent of the GUI; at the moment there is such a tight
coupling between the GUI and operations on the PCB that it's difficult to
see how some things work.
