Cool, maybe we can dig up the patch to the floating point entry bug that was
fixed for pre 2.9.2 and apply that to released 2.9.1, as part of this script,

The above message suggest that wxWidgets rev 67407 would have come about at
least in part because of this needed patch.


Thanks for your persistance and help.  This is exciting.
