​Hi Adam-

Is there a reason why the kicad2step is installed in the KiCad base
application rather than the pcbnew application?  I didn't look into this in
depth but I wonder if we can avoid code dealing with a specific packaging
scenario?

Alternatively, we might put a variable in CMAKE defining where these
applications are installed and reference that in the code.  Hard-coding the
relative paths feels like asking for trouble.

Thoughts?​
