+wxBase is a collection of C++ classes providing basic data structures (strings,
+lists, arrays), portable wrappers around many OS-specific funstions (file
+operations, time/date manipulations, threads, processes, sockets, shared
+library loading) as well as other utility classes (streams, archive and
+compression). wxBase currently supports Win32, most Unix variants (Linux,
+FreeBSD, Solaris, HP-UX) and MacOS X 10.3.
