+ We want to have all wxWidgets identifiers in "wx" namespace but provide
typedefs/#defines for backwards compatibility. This can be done easily
for the classes and the only real problem are the enums as they would
all have to be duplicated at both the global scope (with "wx" prefix) and
without templates, even if not all of its features would be available then)
- Exceptions

+ We are not going to use exceptions in wxWidgets itself but our code should
become exception safe. This is a very difficult task as it means that no
resource allocations (including memory, files, whatever) should be done
without using a smart pointer-like object to store the result as it is the
we definitely need it for the users makefiles.

- wxStreams review
- wxURL?

for a given set of platforms. Sometimes you want to be able
to get away with non-portable usage, and sometimes not.
This is probably way too time-consuming to implement.

reduce checkbox size on non-Windows platforms.
- Add wxNotebook::HitTest for non-Windows platforms.
+- Implement rebar for all platforms. This will help us
