Yep, nobody pushed the discussion further..

Agreed.
I'm a bit hesitant to initiate a discussion over there being a noob 
both to wxWidgets and KiCad.
It might very well come across as "hey, we've got some buggy software 
over here, could you please keep wxWidgets bug-compatible with some 
old version?", so I have to do some homework first I guess..

Also, before I talk to the wxWidgets guys I want KiCad to build 
against any reasonable version of wxWidgets out of the box, in case 
some helpful soul there decides to give it a spin. At the moment, 
KiCAD doesn't build against the latest SVN version of wxWidgets. I 
have an initial patch here to fix that, but since it touches 45 
files, I have to test it a bit before committing.

Anyway, I'm going to be unable to do much the next few weeks (too 
busy with work and travels), but I'll keep this in mind.
I can submit my wxWidgets-svn patch if anyone is interested in 
testing and committing it and don't want to wait a few weeks for me 
doing it.

Cheers,
