The thought was at some point we would switch over to wxAuiManager[1] to
handle all window management.  That never happened because wxAui has not
proven to be reliable enough to convert everything over to it.
Hopefully at some point this will happen as it pulls in some nice
features such as dockable/editable toolbars and child windows.  I'm not
sure in the case of dialogs that using wxAuiNotebook buys us much over
wxNotebook.
