Supply schematic file on command line

[ghost]

I've hacked bomsaway to take a filename on the command line so I can run it direct from KiCAD with the command:

python "/full/path/to/Boms-Away/bomsaway.py" "%P/%B.sch" &

Or just supply the filename on the command line in the normal way, or not.

Hoping this is useful.

Good idea, I'll fold this in ASAP
