Just a heads up for anyone who attempts to build testing r3800 on 
Windows with MinGW (GCC 4.7.2) and wxWidgets 2.9.4, you will get the 
following build errors everywhere <wx/string.h> is included in the source:

/mingw/include/wx-2.9/wx/wxcrtbase.h: In function 'char* wxStrdup(const 
char*)':
/mingw/include/wx-2.9/wx/wxcrtbase.h:697:62: error: '_strdup' was not 
declared in this scope
/mingw/include/wx-2.9/wx/wxcrtbase.h: In function 'wchar_t* 
wxStrdup(const wchar_t*)':
/mingw/include/wx-2.9/wx/wxcrtbase.h:698:68: error: 'wcsdup' was not 
declared in this scope

and:

/mingw/include/wx-2.9/wx/string.h: In function 'int Stricmp(const char*, 
const char*)':
/mingw/include/wx-2.9/wx/string.h:174:31: error: 'strcasecmp' was not 
declared in this scope
make[2]: *** 
[common/CMakeFiles/common.dir/dialog_about/AboutDialog_main.cpp.obj] Error 1
[ 43%] Building CXX object 
common/CMakeFiles/common.dir/dialog_about/dialog_about.cpp.obj

My guess is that _strdup, wcsdup, and strcasecmp are wrapped in an 
#ifdef/#endif block in the MinGW header files that undefines these 
functions when the -std=++0x flag is used.  I confirmed this by 
commenting out the line in the main CMakeList.txt file.  Obviously this 
also fails due to the new std::unique_ptr calls which require the 
-std=c++0x flag.  So I attempted to rebuild wxWidgets 2.9.4 with 
-std=c++0x defined and got this error message:

C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/home/Wayne/src/wxWidgets-2.9.4/src/stc/scintilla/src/Document.
cxx:1466:33: error: 'isascii' was not declared in this scope

I don't have time to look at this right now so hopefully someone can 
figure this out before I can get some time to look at it.
