+- a way to tell wxWidgets to check for any non-portable usage,
+  for a given set of platforms. Sometimes you want to be able
+  to get away with non-portable usage, and sometimes not.
+  This is probably way too time-consuming to implement.
+- In headers, don't silently omit contents if the features for this
+  header is switched off. Instead, emit an error message.
+- Implement native tree view and colour dialog in wxGTK.
+- Better way to specify About, Preferences menu ids under wxMac.
+- Must be able to portably specify relaying out a frame after the toolbar
+  has been destroyed or recreated. On wxMSW, this is done in
+  ~wxToolBar. On wxGTK, in SetToolBar. In wxMac, not at all,
+  but sending a wxSizeEvent will do it.
+- Need wxRect wxToolBar::GetToolRect(int id) or similar so we can
+  align a popup menu with a toolbar button.
+- wxMac font selector dialog is the generic font selector -
+  horrible.
+- No Append(wxArrayString&) for wxChoice and wxComboBox in wxGTK.
+  Probably other functions too. Consider adding Insert to
+  these classes, as per the patch on SF.
+- Rewrite wxFileHistory using wxString and wxArrayString, and
+  put in separate file.
+- Add wxArrayString methods to wxTextValidator and any other
+  class that needs them.
+- Add wxNotebook::GetTabRect or similar so we can estimate
+  page size better in wxNotebookBase::CalcSizeFromPage.
+- Add function to clear all wxNotebook tabs without
+  destroying the pages.
+- Add individual setters to wxScrollBar and other classes
+  that use a combined setter.
+- Remove traces of old resource system from wxWizard.
+- Have wxDirCtrl as alias for wxGenericDirCtrl.
+- Allow instant reaction to left-up in a wxGrid cell
+  (extend editor API) to work around bad checkbox
+  behaviour (click, click, click, click away...) and
+  reduce checkbox size on non-Windows platforms.
+- Add wxNotebook::HitTest for non-Windows platforms.
+- Implement rebar for all platforms. This will help us
+  get closer to native look and feel, e.g. the gradient
+  shadow on XP toolbars.
