Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.

* Remove a bunch of trailing whitespace and add missing license comments.
Adds "kicad_pcb" to the list of file-extensions for PCBnew in its Info.plist
to make Launch Services recognize the file associations.
Change 8 bit string to UTF8 so fancy mew in "um" can be shown.
* All items shapes are converted to polygons.
* Polygons are merged layer by layer (for calculation time reasons,zones are not merged)
* for copper layers, vias and pads holes are substracted from polygons (but, for calculation time reasons, not inside zones areas).
* the look is better, mainly when displaying the copper thickness
* solder and paste layers are now shown in 3D viewer.
* the code was seriously cleaned (but still needs to be enhanced).
* Note this is a work in progress which needs refinements.
This seems to me like the defacto standard for this menu command.

"Unnamed file" using _() so its translatable.

file as a base for the new file.

or not set and when they have been changed while loading the .cmp file.

the crosshair after zooming.
This method is only used when the ALT key is held while using the mousewheel or
if it's permanently enabled in the options dialog next to the middle mouse
button panning option.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
their type, by using the more abstract PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions.
This is an intermediate phase only, other changes will be necessary as library table support comes in.
Encapsulate usage of library path searching, since that will go away as library table support comes in.
Add FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibPath() and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibNickName() functions
to provide this encapsulation.
