 Things missing from MicroWindows that need to be worked around

@@ -131,6 +169,11 @@ So how can we convert from wxImage to wxBitmap in MicroWindows?
 Well, a simple-minded way would be to use CreateCompatibleBitmap
 which returns an HBITMAP, select it into an HDC, and draw
 the pixels from the wxImage to the HDC one by one with SetPixel.
+This is now implemented, but there are problems with masks.
+(a) masks have to be created at screen depth because BitBlt/GrDraw
+can't cope with differing depths, and (b) masked blitting
+is still not working (try enabling mask creation in
+wxBitmap::CreateFromImage by setting USE_MASKS to 1).
