How about moving the UI specific code to wxstruct.h and leave the wxString
specific code (which is probably all you need for the SWEET stuff) in macros.h?
 It may be beneficial for the SWEET code to move the wxString conversion code
to a new header file to prevent pulling in the boost typeof stuff as well
unless you are using the EXCHG() macro.
