Hi all,
    FYI just some quick news for those who don't read wx-dev too often ;)

  1) in wx >= 2.9 the Unicode/ANSI build modes will be merged. wx will 
use the best internal representation for wxString depending on the 
underlying platform (e.g. UTF8 for wxGTK, UTF16 for wxMSW).
  => we'll have to update once again all our internal lua<->wxWidgets 
string conversion stuff

  2) in wx >= 2.9 contrib folder does not exist anymore. Scintilla is 
now a main wx lib and this is a big bonus for us. It means that we'll be 
able to cut-off some special checks we needed for this contrib and that 
users with a "default" wxWidgets build will be able to get a "more 
complete" wxLua (i.e. wxLuaApp will always be built, wxLuaEdit will 
still need a 3rd party dependency though).

  3) in wx >= 2.9, _if_ my SoC project goes well, the old RTTI system of 
wx will be replaced by XTI (eXtended RTTI) which will allow automatic 
generation of wrappers for various wxWidgets classes, in particular 
wxControl-derived ones.

More in details: we'll be able to write a small app which uses some 
wxClassInfo::GetListOfClass(), wxClassInfo::GetClassInterface or similar 
which will allow us to automatically write (at least a portion of) our 
.i files.

Francesco
