Fix an annoying behavior of new quasi modal frames on Windows (when closing them, the caller frame was no more on top )

*) Eeschema can now show the footprint editor. *) Eeschema can now invoke the footprint picker from the library part field editor. *) KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() takes aResultantFocusWindow that tells what window to give the focus to. Required since frames are often near the top of the hierarchy and they are invoked by a peer, not a parent.

wx 2.8 now builds, but the quasi-modal support seems broken on 2.8. Wanted others to be able to build at least.

*) KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is now a retained state, controlled by SetModal() *) Fully re-work the KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() to use a nested event loop. *) Add support to DIALOG_SHIM for a "quasi-modal" dialog presentation and mode. See top of dialog_shim.cpp about that for benefits and need. *) You can now pick footprint from the schematic component field dialog, although if you do this before you open the BOARD, you will only get the global footprint libraries, not also the project specific ones. Opening the BOARD first avoids this problem. This is the first example of cross KIFACE invocation, it is also the first instance of using a TOP_FRAME other than FRAME_PCB as the first thing. It works, but it's missing support for opening the project specific table because historically the FRAME_PCB did that. This is now starting to expose all the near term needs for KIWAY_PLAYER <-> PROJECT interaction, independence and out of sequence usage. A fix for this will be coming in a few days. However it mostly starts to show why the KIWAY is terribly useful and important.

*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY. Now any major frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs in the whole KIWAY. Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet. *) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives. The function KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable. *) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required. *) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame quickly. It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical relationships. *) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above. *) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk. *) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents. KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor, so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each modal wxFrame. On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.

Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME! *) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose(). *) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE. *) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them. $ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/ Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us. *) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp. *) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.

if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager. *) Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a specific project. *) Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files. They still have to be in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still in their original build directories. For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface to build/kicad/. *) Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading _pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager. Got that working for one specific invocation just for proof of concept. Surprise, it works.

! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version, the one tagged with "stable". * Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely targeted purposes: a) DLL/DSO specific b) PROJECT specific c) EXE or process specific d) configuration file specific data e) configuration file manipulations functions. All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects. An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of functionality into the proper box. * Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation. * Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD, PGM_SINGLE_TOP, * Remove "Return" prefix on many function names. * Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s. * Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux. * Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had to be the host platform when building windows binaries. * Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via static construction. * Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME. * Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT, so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE. * Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time of construction. * Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones. * No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
