Hi Nabeel,

The documentation should read "wxFormbuilder 3.8.0 or later" so please
revise your patch.  Expecting developers to use a given version in not
reasonable due to platform differences.  This will always be an issue so
I'm fine with using later versions of wxFormbuilder.  Building
wxFormbuilder from source has been fairly trivial so I don't think it's
a stretch for KiCad developers to build from source if needed.

Cheers,

Wayne
