I've already applied the patch to my branch and did some testing. It works as advertized but I just want to make sure we are for the most part on board with the changes. I'll wait a while to make sure there are no strong objections before I commit the changes. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers,

Hey Mark, I just committed this patch to r5188 of the product branch. Thank you for you contribution to KiCad. I do have a few comments. 1) Doxygen comments do not belong in the source file. They belong in the header file. I moved them this time. 2) There was some trailing whitespace. 3)
