Sorry, I misunderstood you based on what you quoted. Of course
we could use wxImageList, but if it is only needed for wxMSW,
its implementation details could be hidden just as well.
Personally, I think we should use whichever is better API to
program. In other words, is it more convenient to add images
to wxImageList than directly to the control itself?

Not necessarily images of different size (altough I do support
that currently), but images larger than control. Well, if
nobody thinks it should be included, I will of course drop the
feature (ie. the control will then always resize to the height
of images used). Same goes for support of variable image sizes.
