Thanks for the clarification. Like I said in my email, it was not clear to me 
and I couldn't find it on your website. Please forgive me for not looking at 
all the tutorials. I did not even find a weblink to the KiCad site.

Perhaps you could better explain this on your site ? Anyway, if you ever hunt 
down some bugs, please send them back to KiCad-dev list.

Sincerely yours,
Martijn
