+This macro is the same as the standard C99 \texttt{va\_copy} for the compilers
+which support it or its replacement for those that don't. It must be used to
+preserve the value of a \texttt{va\_list} object if you need to use it after
+passing it to another function because it can be modified by the latter.
+
+As with \texttt{va\_start}, each call to \texttt{wxVaCopy} must have a matching 
+\texttt{va\_end}.
