Thank you for this work...I must admit I wasn't eve naware there is
wxPhp project since this thread today.

Still, it would be worth exploring that route, right?...and ask for more
D support?

Yeah, that's true. Robert wants to use SIP and he told me there is lot
of hand-written code for SWIG.

However, let's not forget that wxPython is also,afaik, offering higher-level

wxD, right?

Thank you very much!

At the moment, I do not have much time to do anything with (wx)D, even
not much with computers, but we hope it will change in a few weeks.
