your code if you overrode these functions and change the functions in the
derived classes to use const reference as well.
+- Under MSW wxExecute() arguments are now always properly quoted, as under
+ Unix, and so shouldn't contain quotes unless they are part of the argument.

Changes in behaviour which may result in compilation errors
-----------------------------------------------------------
const wxChar*. wxCStrData is implicitly convertible to both "const char *"
and "const wchar_t *", so this only presents a problem if the compiler cannot
apply the conversion. This can happen in 2 cases:
-
+
+ There is an ambiguity because the function being called is overloaded to
take both "const char *" and "const wchar_t *" as the compiler can't choose
between them. In this case you may use s.wx_str() to call the function
use simpler OnExec() version which is called with wxString argument
