Vadim, this seems like a really bad idea. I mean, what's the point of 
"upgrading" if the new API itself is a wrapper around the old 
(already "heavyweight") API! One could add a few new features to the
new wx3 version over time, but that really isn't much incentive plus
people would probably just port that feature to the older wx2 API.

wx2 wrapping wx3 makes MUCH more sense* because it means a more efficient
implementation base and a real incentive for people to switch. Once you
guys have wx3 ready you'll have plenty of code monkeys [points to self]
willing to implement the wx2 wrapper.

* - except in the case of old compilers/embedded systems which is probably
my big question
