Re: 6.0.0 build flags

 

Having the unused parameters is no harm, it will only generate a
warning at configure time.

The KICAD_PCM flag already defaults to ON, but I guess it should just
be removed as an option?  Are there any reason to keep it as a toggle
for v6+?

I am not aware of anything new flags for features in v7.
