it's now possible to do a complete usable kicad install from source

Hot key operations for a single module such as Move 'M', Rotate 'R', Swap Layer 'S', now operate only on unlocked modules 
and only on modules in the current layer.

use "make -f makefile.gtk DEBUG=0"

Added sorting by value or position in to the annotation window of eeschema (Thanks for patch to Andrey Fedorushkov).

Much easier now to compile with debugging symbols enabled.

re-insert them, you may have to edit the .brd file directly)

horizontal toolbar layer listbox (pgup + pgdwn, which were already in the source, plus 
F5-F8).  I hope this is a useful feature. 

* backspace key now deletes segments and vias both while editing a new track and while 
modifying old ones
* internal layers can be accessed via F5-F8
* when creating a new trace, switching between layers with the Pageup, PageDown, and 
F5-F8 hotkeys inserts a via. (warning: i did not test this with blind vias; however, it 
calls Other_Layer_Route, so should still work)
* spelling fix

improve static linking check to allow dynamic linking to be specified on make command, no need to hack libs.linux now to use dynamic linking, just use "make -f makefile.gtk KICAD_STATIC_LINK=0"

remove all those 2 line wx configure scripts, instead they are now listed in the how-to-build-kicad file
