* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
  version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.
* Merge StrNumICmp() and StrLenNumICmp() into StrLenNumCmp() to create a
  single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
  of duplicate code.
* Remove unused strupper from string.cpp.
* Use wxArrayString for sorting the EDA_LIST_DIALOG contents.

* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
  stand alone code.  This prevents the need to define them in a specific
  order to make source code compile properly.  It should also now be
  possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
  to a separate folder.

* Changed <wx-2.8/xml/xml.h> to "xnode.h" in pcbnew_config.cpp to fix bug
  when building against wxWidgets 2.9 and above.
* Convert broken wxXmlNode code to use XNODE.
* Overloaded XNODE constructor for creating child nodes.
* Translate French naming conventions.
* Translate French comments.
* Remove tabs from several source files.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.

Minor fixes and enhancements.

Use UTF-8 encoding only in kicad files. Under Linux, this was already the case. Under Windows, texts with  non ascii characters must be corrected.
This ensure compatibility between platforms.

Change board bounding box calculation to include all board items by default in pcbnew. Add a parameter to look for board edges only.

Pcbnew: Fixed minor problems (bugs 568357 and 568356). Changed French word COTATION to DIMENSION in class COTATION (now class DIMENSION)

removed global variables and a lot of redundancies

* Fix debug asserts when passing NULL pointers to wxAuiPaneInfo.
* Fix Kicad main window sash sizer bug when using wxAui.
* Remove specctra_test from Visual Studio builds to prevent build errors.
* Add WIN32 to layer widget test so it will build properly on Visual Studio.
* Fixed compiler conversion warnings in PCBNew.
* Fixed worksheet print scaling in PCBNew.
* Minor code renaming.

  * Moved ReturnLayerName() to static BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() and migrated
    to a Specctra DSN compatible default layer naming scheme:
        Component becomes Front, Copper becomes Back.
  * set_color.h: Cmp becomes Front, Cu becomes Back.
  * D_PAD::DisplayInfo() changed to use actual copper layer names.
  * more layer setup dialog work, moved all programmatic wxControl instantiation
    into the wxFormbuilder environment, but this is fraught with danger:
    wxFlexGridSizer used the tallest control to establish the row heights, so
    be careful about changing control borders in the scroll panel. The vertical
    size can explode since just a couple of pixels times the number of rows
    is substantial.  Currently I am setting a 5 pixel border only left, top, and right
    but not bottom.
  * Set copper layer count is back in place as a hack until I can get the enabled
    layer bit map fully operational.

* Translate source files D through L in pcbnew.
* Add translate tag for comments that did not translate correctly.

* Created separate SVN version header.
* Add true config.h for platform dependency checks.
* Add dependency check cmake module.
* Remove some leftover hand crafted make files.
* Remove non-cmake build instructions from COMPILING.txt.
* Fix split _() strings causing Visual C++ compiler error.
* Fix lots of compiler warnings.
* Change project file parameter container from wxArray to boost::vector_ptr.
* Removed lots of redundant header definitions.
* Fixed green_xpm redefinition in ercgreen.xpm.
* Remove some dead code and unnecessary class methods.

Code clarification about 3 confusing functions to display info: DisplayInfo (displaying a message info) and class members DisplayInfo and Display_Infos doing the same thing (see changelog)

pcbnew: added 5 metric grids and fixed a very minor bug when creating drill map.
