We should make it obvious that it is a branch of wxwidgets for kicad
specifically patched for macos to avoid any confusion.  It should
definitely be hosted on the KiCad EDA project on github.  If you don't
have access privileges there, please let me know.  I'll leave the
details up to macos devs as to how best to approach this.
