Hey Wayne

I attached my patch (generated with `git format-patch --attach
origin/master`) to my last email as per
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/contribute/developers/#_submitting_patches. I have
a feeling Gmail might not like the mail headers in the patch.

I created a new patch without the --attach option and added it to this
email (I am more used to this patch format and I believe it worked in the
past).

Greetings
Seppe
