Yes, providing just one single dsw file (with dependencies set up) would 
be better. wx.dsw as of now (no dependencies) is rather .

Sorry, I'll try to make it clearer:

Before 2.7, you could control the message box default caption, like this
wxMessageBoxCaptionStr = wxStrdup(_("Message")));
or
wxMessageBoxCaptionStr = wxStrdup(GetAppName());

In 2.7.x, it's hardwired to wx("Message").

Flexible is better...

...Translated or not, the default caption "Message" is not likely to 
please many. The MFC default, the app name, is quite good, especially 
useful if you have no TLW (as it announces the app displaying it). 
Moreover, in wxWidgets wxMessageBox is centered on the display rather 
than on it's parent, more often than not landing far away from its 
parent/TLW - which makes app name perhaps a better default than "Message".
