I'm siding with Carsten on this. There are people who prefer stable computing platforms and I want to avoid making kicad only build on the latest distros. I prefer that we keep as large of a target audience as possible. How difficult would it be to change the SHAPE_LINE_CHAIN object (actually its the VECTOR2 object that causes the swig issue) so that older versions of swig don't choke on it? I would be open to that solution.
