I vote for using Ian's implementation. He is right - reducing dependencies is invaluable, and it enables us to run gnumed clients on a lot more platforms (e.g. handhelds) with non-wx user interfaces (e.g. console interface) Hasanybody done a brief performance assessment? Judging from the code, I would *not* expect any noticeable performance drawbacks.
