Alien::wxWidgets could build those pages as the source is downloaded
anyway
I like the idea of Alien::wxWidgets building the pages, but that might
mean that it has more build dependencies *and* it would not be
browsable on search.cpan.org, etc.

It would be nice to have full documentation available in pod under the
standard namespaces (e.g. `perldoc Wx::Button`).
Besides this will make the wxPerl package a lot bigger.
How much bigger?
The source files under wWidgets/interface are 1.8MB, the generated
HTML documentation is 11MB (both numbers are after tar-gzipping). I
expect the size for the POD files to be something in-between. For
comparison Wx 0.94 is 348KB.
or maybe we could upload Wx::Docs or some similar package with
these pod files and let the user install if s/he wants to. I hope
this won't confuse the CPAN indexer.
This sounds like a good solution (if someone volunteers to make it
*really* easy for Mattia to keep in sync with the Wx releases.)
I also like this solution the best. Especially since the release of
Wx::Docs can be done by not-me :-)

Mattia
