The library produced by the install process will be called
-libwx_x11.a (static) and libwx_x11-2.3.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that
-once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/X11 comes out
-we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.

Status
======
-This is new port and doesn't yet compile, but do please join in
-and help. It's actually quite a simple port since most of the hard work
-is done by the wxUniversal widgets.
+Many of the samples are running.
+
+Some remaining issues:
+
+- some refresh efficiency issues
+- clipboard implementation missing
+- drag and drop implementation missing
+- wxX11's wxTextCtrl (separate from wxUniv version)
+ needs some work, for example to remove vertical scrollbar,
+ and to provide wordwrap
+- wxToggleButton implementation missing
+- wxSpinCtrl implementation missing
+- tooltips implementation missing
+- code common to the Motif and X11 ports needs to be merged
+- need thread safety in event loop
