 We seem to agree that wx3 API is going to be quite different from wx2 if
only because it would operate with wx::Window and not pointers to them so I
don't think (1) amounts to much.

 This would be the case for non GUI applications only, I have hard time
imagining a GUI application not using wxWindow ;-)

 So IMHO any existing GUI wxApp (and this is vast majority of them of
course) will need wx2 emulation layer.
