Hi Russel, This would probably be a good start. Please note that I moved the Eagle file wildcard to the common/wildcards_and_files_ext.cpp file as part of my GTK+ file dialog case sensitivity fix so it is no longer in the kicad/import_project.cpp file. There also was a bug report about some of the Eagle importer error messages being confusing so I would appreciate if you take a look at them as well. Just send the patches to the dev mailing list and I will get them merged as soon as possible. By the way, nice job on the Eagle importer. It really seems to work well.
