+This is a port of wxWidgets to MicroWindows, under Linux.
Widgets are supplied by the wxUniversal project, while the
underlying port uses the Windows ports with small modifications
for the MicroWindows API.
Note: these are already applied by the patch below.

+- apply microwindows.patches (from wxWidgets:
docs/microwin/microwindows.patches) to fix PeekMessage
and other issues. If the patch doesn't apply automatically,
you may need to apply it by hand, and the relevant changed

for FILE_IO, even though for inline XPMs we don't need file I/O.
(Embedded systems tend not to have file I/O, anyway.)

+Now, wxWidgets has its own XPM decoder, src/common/xpmdecod.cpp,
so in theory we don't need to use MicroWindows' code there.
wxImage can load an inline XPM, _but_ we need to convert to
a wxBitmap since this is what the widgets need.
