simulator in stand-alone eeschema not working

[Jonatan Liljedahl]

When opening a schematic using a stand-alone eeschema instance (such as when double-clicking a schematic file in the project navigator that does not have the same name as the project), the simulator is broken:

That's the same errors that happened in the old times when ngspice integration was new, when it didn't find or include the correct files.

This seems to have been fixed in the nightly kicad-5.1-unified-20190830-121212-c1f9abc98-10_14.dmg
