OK, I guess you are right and the options seem basically equal - I wonder
how people did it in the wx1-wx2 transition and the MFC-WinAPI transition...

I mean the real clincher is when you actually have do the transition
as then you'll be maintaining like three seperate code bases 
(! head/stable/wx3).
