+use relative instead of absolute paths.  For wxFileConfig, you can also 
+add wxCONFIG\_USE\_NO\_ESCAPE\_CHARACTERS which will turn off character 
+escaping for the values of entries stored in the config file: for example 
+a {\it foo} key with some backslash characters will be stored as

+\begin{verbatim}

+\end{verbatim}
+The wxCONFIG\_USE\_NO\_ESCAPE\_CHARACTERS style can be helpful if your config 
+file must be read or written to by a non-wxWindows program (which might not 
+understand the escape characters). Note, however, that if 
+wxCONFIG\_USE\_NO\_ESCAPE\_CHARACTERS style is used, it is is now 
+your application's responsibility to ensure that there is no newline or 
+other illegal characters in a value, before writing that value to the file.}
