Where do we stand on a wxWidgets branch?  Are we going to move forward with it, or do we need to fix up the patches and the patch documentation?

(The working directory for the patches in the doc is also error-prone: by path-to-wxwidgets-src it means source tree not the src directory in said tree.  But that, and the mix of patch formats would all be moot if we have a branch.)
