Documentation states that is ready for Windows, Linux/Unix GTK+ 2.0, OSX since April 2006/wx2.6 and is officially part of wx-windows since wx2.8, as common sense suggests, better try it on the field than follow the "commercial statements" in a dumb way.

When we got a successfully report of Window platform and when we reach to an agreement i would start to post suggests of patches here, to make avaiable a review by committers and general audience.

If we find it reasonable i wish to start with feature initially disabled onsvn and patching in the order: 3d-viewer, pcb, eeschema, gerbview, cvpcb, kicad when we find it mature we could enable it by default while mantaing the old code for compatibility.
I wish also mantain a separate switch to enable wxAuiToolbar separatelly.
