How will this affect those of us who build KiCad from source? I have liboce 
packages installed which provide OCE. If you change to OCC what package(s) 
will I need then? The distro I use (Linux Mint) has libocct (Open CASCADE 
Technology) packages. Is that what I will need or will I have to find 
another source (ie. a PPA) for the support libraries?
