This feature was not reliably available: neither pl_editor nor GAL supported
it. It has been replaced over the past few commits with a new zoom-to-selection
tool available in all applications and modes.
This feature cannot work reliably for reasons explained in lp:1463505. Remove
the option on OS X builds and force cursor to the small one.

I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
* Move add_directory()s in main CMakeList.txt after all find_package()
macros are run so all flags in the main CMakeList.txt are propagated
to the sub-folder CMakeList.txt files.
* Remove commented out include of config.h
* Make the link maps only build on linux as -${TO_LINKER},-cref
-${TO_LINKER},-Map=blah just gives warnings on osx w/ clang
* Make the link maps only build with flag -DKICAD_MAKE_LINK_MAPS is
defined during CMake configuration as they are highly specific.
* Moved the code for setting link maps into the main CMakeList.txt
file to avoid duplication.
* Removed -D__ASSERTMACRO__ from osx as its no longer needed
* Removed a couple of other OSX only things that wouldn't work anyway
* Moved set (BU_CHMOD_BUNDLE_ITEMS) to the main CMakeList.txt as
otherwise it would only work for the KiCad build not the other
applications
* Made KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES enable KICAD_SCRIPTING as currently if
you have modules enabled without the scripting base it will on build.
This could be changed to a fatal error saying you need to also enable
scripting but it seems unnecessary.
* Removed duplication of pcbnew.py install code under modules and
scripting since you can't have modules without scripting now
* The resource setting for bitmap2component is too late in the CMakeLists.txt,
and is being ignored. Bitmap2component does not have an icon resource on
Windows. Moving the entire section resolves the issue.
* The other programs only have the mingw special case listed, not the generic
declaration for the resource file so added them.
In the C++ standard, this function is only defined for floating point
types, and integers cannot be implicitly converted. Using explicit
conversions avoids a GCC specific extension to the standard library.
* Make the about dialog help string consistent across all menus.
* Improve print preview window and print initialization error messages.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes.
* It appears the wxApp leaves the trailing double quote when handling a quoted parameter list
that was causing the project path passed from KiCad to have a trailing double quote which caused
a file read error.
* Remvoe all comments from source file gerbview/gerbview_frame.cpp.
* Remove unused and empty function GERBVIEW_FRAME::SetAllVisibles().
* Add path paramters to KiCad executable launcher so we can see the full command string.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
