Hi

I indeed agree with Wayne, that this is generally not good to release
to the public users as is. It is simply just half a solution.

I wonder if we should add some lines to also build wx3 if this does
not exist in the package repo. Alternatively I have seen people
talking about downloading the deb file from a newer verison of ubuntu.
So that could probably also be used. I have not tested it my self yet.

There exists some PPA for wx3, but this was missing wxgtk or wxpython,
I don't exactly remember.

Nick
