Excellent work guys! I'm really looking forward to trying this stuff out. I'll commit the download_openssl.cmake changes in a few days when we're back on-line at home as I've just moved house and we've no internet access at home at the moment. Thanks to everyone involved in that work, a push and

Hello I found the kicad autorouter today. Not bad but is has ploughed through pre-existing tracks causing a massive short. It also does not make the most obvious choices in routing and tracks seem to be placed within the clearance limits of pads so it seems to rather have a mind of it's own.

While I agree with the time valuation, hobbyists using KiCad do not necessarily spend lots of money on screen real estate. Besides, it doesn't mean large resolution screens are placed in landscape mode. I myself have my main monitor in portrait because code is what is displayed most often on it.
