+\subsection{RTTI}

+wxWindows does not use run-time type information since wxWindows provides
+its own run-time type information system, implemented using macros.
+
+\subsection{Type of NULL}
+
+Some compilers (e.g. the native IRIX cc) define NULL to be 0L so that
+no conversion to pointers is allowed. Because of that, all these
+occurences of NULL in the GTK port use an explicit conversion such
