Great, that news made my day.

I added the "Description" column to the module editor's "Current Library" picker dialog in
the last day or so.

If that column makes sense also somewhere else, let me know.  Its probable I've missed
another dialog.

And I wrestled with wx 2.8 most of what was an exasperating day, but eventually discovered
how to make a darn wx 2.8 wxListCtrl come up showing its columns in full grandeur.
Obviously this is a wx 2.8 bug workaround.

The Description field will assist new users in picking a library, and was originally
initiated by an enhancement request months ago.
