I agree, probably the biggest 'problem' (since it's not really too much
of a problem) is that wxBuilder won't handle the most complex gettext
usages; but fortunately that's static text i.e. doesn't have to handle
substitutions. Or maybe there's simply some easy way to convince it to
use gettext contexts (i.e. using pgettext instead of gettext)
