I changed a symlink on my machine to make 'python' point to 'python3'. I 
also rm'ed the build directory. I seem to be over the problem with it 
finding the right version of Python when both 2.7 and 3.6 are installed.

Now it complains that it can't find wxPython/Phoenix. AFAICT, that means I 
need version 4 of wx. I only have 3 and the distro I'm using doesn't have 
version 4 available so I can no longer build KiCAD v6. At least I solved the 
previous problem. :)

Is this the new way of specifying whether a setting is enabled or not? You 
need to specify the setting type and not just whether it is on or off? In 
the past I just have just used <setting>=<state>.
