True :-) I just wonder what the documentation and headers are going to look 
like
with in some cases 50% longer prototypes... hopefully we can assume
"using wx" for the docs at least.

I think if installation and compilation is comprehensive and
simple, and we massage the docs so it's largely all in one place,
and we have bridging classes, and the overhead is not significant,
then I could learn to love appropriate use of other libs. But that
overhead issue bugs me somewhat. Hopefully it'll turn out to be
a non-issue...

Regards,

Julian
