 Hmm, indeed, WX_DECLARE_LIST requires semicolon. I wasn't aware of it,
sorry.

 This is probably the wisest course of action, adding a semicolon to it now
is going to provoke warnings or worse (I remember that HP-UX aCC used to
flag extra top-level semicolons as errors, although I don't know if it
still does) in all existing code without any real gain.

 This is not (by far) the prettiest nor, let me assure you, the most
representative part of wx. Luckily, chances are that you don't need to deal
with it at all as unless you really need to write code which compiles on
all platforms which wx supports I'd recommend just using standard C++
library classes (e.g. std::vector, std::list, ...) instead of wx
facilities.
