not yet in the workforce ;)
Here in italy (maybe it's something european-wide?) we've adopted a 3+2
system in all our universities: I've mostly (just need to write the
thesis) the first 3 years of university. But I'm going to attend also
the "specialistic" last 2 years.

great, that's a big bonus!
I think that wxLua is delivering high-quality code and gives the
programmers great possibilities.
The user community of wxLua is growing but still very slowly. Maybe the
best thing which remains to do is to "spread the word" ;)
This year google sent as "surprise" to all students an interesting book:
http://producingoss.com/
I'm trying to learn some of these less-technical aspects :)

Great!
However I think we may want to reconsider our choice to use a modified
bakefile. The good news since we decided so is that all patches except
one were finally (after months of debate in the patch tracker!) applied
to bakefile. The bad news is that remaining patch is the oldest one and
I can't seem to convince Vaclav to apply it.
It's the patch which "renames" wxWidgets presets' WX_DEBUG, WX_UNICODE,
WX_SHARED options respectively to BUILD, UNICODE, SHARED options.
Since bakefile SVN contains various others improvements (e.g. provides a
raw support for xCode project files now) and in general it's better to
use the official version of a tool rather than a patched one, we may
want to consider to:
1) switch from BUILD,UNICODE,SHARED opt set to WX_DEBUG,WX_UNICODE
(etc) (like e.g. all wxCode components do)
2) use a modified set of wxWidgets presets and instead use official
bakefile (retaining the build options named as BUILD,UNICODE,SHARED).
3) wait for the patch to be integrated

good idea!
That will definitively speed up module loading and also shrink down the
size of the wxLua self-contained programs, right?
For the bakefile modifications we'll need to avoid as most as possible
copy&paste operations extending current templates/rules.

Hmm, do you mean at bakefile level?
It should already be easy enough to specify the libraries a project
needs to link to (using e.g. wxlua-lib tag or shortcuts like
<wxlua-allstdlibs/>); I think after splitting the following syntax will
be possible:
<wxlua-lib>core</wxlua-lib>
which will expand to
1 <syslib> against the wxlua_core*.lib
1 <syslib> against the wx_core*.lib
is that what you meant?
