couldn't get wxPython to work but didn't need it - the python module and
action scripts is enough. I still have problems building in another
directory. This is what I did:

cmake -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
-DKICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON ; make ; sudo
make install

Thanks, and thanks again for all the work on kicad.
