TRANSLATOR! Just kidding :D

Thanks for the reply, Anthony. I'll start knocking out what I can
figure out, and learn the rest as I go.

Some comments inline.

I'll work on OCE last, since it takes about a billion and ten years to
compile. PS, I have pushed the patches upstream a few days ago. There
just hasn't been any response and I didn't want to wait to push out
these ports.

I wanted to try and squeak out as much usable extras for folks. Also,
I've been trying to get all of this to work for a couple of years and
have thrown so much crap against the wall that it's all a blur at this
point.

Xspice is and extension that provides more usability and cider
increases accuracy of the simulator. I don't use the spice stuff, as
I've never taken the time to learn it. I'll make sure the ngspice port
works fine with it. The lib can remove it. I have no feelings about it
either way.

Yes, the library is useless since Kicad 4, methinks.

Thanks again for this. Also, kicad-share installs just fine, if that
helps get the ok.
