[BUG] kipartman crashes if PCBNEW (kicad library) is notaccessible

[auphofBSF]

see: a simple fix, I will raise it as a Pull Request for Master
[IMP] Error Handler if running without Kicad pcbnew eb3b0cf

[auphofBSF]

I see I can't just create a Pull request for this commit, I will have to create a separate branch. I suggest we leave it till branch Issue#8-FIXTEST is validated

[turdusmerula]

This is a first step, next will be to add an item in the configuration window to allow non system path for kicad.
Maybe we should turn this bug to a feature?

[auphofBSF]

Agreed,
However the non system path will possibly have issues on MSW, I really struggled to find a way to run use PCBnew from another instance of Python. from what I remember it was failing on some dll's.
maybe we have to integrate parts of PCBnew into kipartman.
For now if we merge this and then create a [FEATURE] I can try and look further into the issues on implementation on MSW.
