+wxPython version must be recent enough to support all features (a warning
+message is shown if not).

 
 

-wxPython must be compiled with XRC support.

+User requirements
+-----------------
+
+To use XRCed it is really important to be familiar with wxWindows class names
+and at least partially with XRC resource format (read
