Why not simply create a URL in the overview showing the relevant C++  
samples? i.e.

"For C++ users, see also the following C++ samples: blah, blah" where  
blah is a file URL to wxSrc/samples/whatever(/whatever.cpp?) (or just  
make a tab for C++)

Even better, we can even make this only appear when the wxPython demo  
runs inside a wx tree, so we can do something like:

cpp_file="wxdir/samples/whatever"
if os.path.exists(cpp_file):
     # code to show C++ tab or links

It's true the samples aren't equivalent, but they'll do what users  
need them to - show how to use the class.

Thanks,

Kevin
