Aside from the not prompting to save, this is sort of more correct, Cmd-Q should quit the entire KiCad process whereas Cmd-W should just close the Eeschema window (see [1]).

I tried to move the quit action to an ACTION (so that all frames could share the impl).

However, wxWidgets mucks around with the Quit menu item (and the Preferences one), so I had to put it back. I don't think I've merged it yet though....
