[wx-dev] wxAUI class renaming proprosal

[Takeshi Miya]

Hi Ben,
I'm also in favor of the big name change wxAui in front of everything.

Something unrelated, but the only thing that stops successfully
compilation of the wx 2.7.2 branch (under MinGW), is in the mail I
wrote a few hours ago, "[wx-dev] Compile error in
src/aui/floatpane.cpp"

Regards,
Takeshi Miya
