*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
This option is not yet activated because the net attributes are not yet fully fixed by Ucamco, in Gerber file format specifications.

OSX Sierra has removed QuickTime entirely (because Apple needs to break
at least one thing every major OS revision). This prevents wxWidgets
from compiling at all, and as of right now, there is only a workaround,
but a true upstream fix will require rewriting portions of wx to use
AVKit, which is more or less the replacement for QuickTime, instead.
KiCad doesn't use any parts of wx involved, so the work around seems to
be fine for us. I am using the latest commit of KiCad on 10.12 as I write
this, with this patch applied, and I'm not having any problems (at least
new ones anyway).
The workaround is this patch (which is not a direct copy of the upstream
fix, which simply removes the include entirely. I made it where if this
patch gets applied, it won't effect anything except when being built
against the 10.12 SDK). Additionally, wxWidgets configure must be given
the --disable-mediactrl flag. This is a temporary workaround, but as far
as I know, KiCad doesn't use that control?
