I had some time over the holidays to play with the recent wxPython 4 that 
supports Python 3.x. So I decided to make a new effort to get Dabo working with 
Python 3. It's still very much a work-in-progress, but I am able to get some 
widgets showing on my Mac. 

I've also made some design changes. The biggest is that we no longer pretend to 
support anything other than wxPython for the UI. Another is that we will now 
use 4 spaces as the unit of indentation instead of a tab. I still like tabs 
better, but the decision to use tabs was made 15 years ago, and since then the 
Python world has strongly come down on the side of spaces. Since all my Python 
tooling is set to expand tabs to spaces, it's time to align Dabo with the rest 
of the world.

For now this will live in the 'dabo3' branch, but if it ever gets truly usable, 
I'd like to move current master to a legacy branch, make this master, and then 
release it to the world. I don't use Dabo very much these days, and I won't 
have a lot of time to work on this, but I'd like to leave it in a state where 
someone else can move it forward if they choose.
