+This function can be used to perform the initialization of wxWidgets if you
+can't use the default initialization code for any reason.
+
+If the function returns \true, the initialization was successful and the global 
+\helpref{wxApp}{wxapp} object \texttt{wxTheApp} has been created. Moreover, 
+\helpref{wxEntryCleanup}{wxentrycleanup} must be called afterwards. If the
+function returns \false, a catastrophic initialization error occured and (at
