Other Notes
-----------
-- Debugging mode is switched on by default in the makefiles, but using
- configure will create a release build of the library by default: it's
- recommended to use --with-debug_info and --with-debug_flag configure
- switches while developing your application. To compile in non-debug
- mode, remove the -D__WXDEBUG__ switch in make.env (or if using the
- configure system, change --with-debug_flag to --without_debug_flag
- and --with-debug_info to --without-debug_info in the makewxmotif
- script).

Bug reports
-----------
anyway, so for example intercepting left-click in a widget doesn't disable
the default behaviour. See TODOs in window.cpp.
-- wxRadioBox doesn't show up in the controls sample, though it's
- OK on other dialogs (e.g. printing sample).
-
- wxToolTip
- Miscellaneous events.
-- Use wxImage to load other formats into wxBitmaps, such as PNG, BMP.
-
- Allow wxFrame and other widgets to have mouse event handlers.
Low Priority
- Work out why XFreeFont in font.cpp produces a segv. This is
currently commented out, which presumably causes a memory leak.
-- Better makefile system that can put objects in different dirs.
-
-- Extra wxBitmap formats: PNG, BMP. Could use old wxWin 1.68
- wxImage code (derived from XV) for BMP/GIF but it's very bloated. However,
- when implemented as extra bitmap handlers, the code won't be linked
- unless needed. Update: see if wxImage can handle these formats.
-
-- Get Dialog Editor working (better) under Motif.
-
- New wxHelp version: try using the XmHTML widget at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~ripley/XmHTML/.
- Miscellaneous classes e.g. wxJoystick (identical to GTK's one for
Linux)
-- Get ODBC classes and sample working.
-
- Work out why wxTextCtrl doesn't work as a stream buffer under
gcc
