There have been programs which were not wide char safe(hugin used to be)
and there might be others. Audacity doesn't plaz nicely with gtk2 in its
current version (recommendation by the upstream developer).
To maintain multiple versions of wxwidgets would be a overkill and a
pain(the wx-config script would have to be altered by post_install I
think).
Therefore, it won't be split up. And yes, we do need all 3 backends.
That's the way it is with a wrapper toolkit.
