it or just include the appropriate header instead of forward declaration.

Deprecated methods and their replacements
-----------------------------------------
Build system changes
--------------------
+- Cocoa is now used by default under OS X instead of Carbon. Pass --with-carbon
+ option to configure to use wxCarbon.
+
- In wxMSW makefile builds, "_x64" is used instead of "_amd64" when compiling
for this architecture in the architecture-specific paths and library names.
TARGET_CPU can still be specified as "amd64" for compatibility but "x64"
was added.
