Thanks for the information.  For some reason I cannot remember, I
thought Phoenix could only be built against the development version of
wxwidgets.  If Debian has packaged Phoenix built with wx 3.0.4 than
obviously that's not the case.  I'll have to give it a try the next time
I get a chance.  I built kicad with full scripting support since I've
started using the gtk3 build of wx so my testing has been somewhat
incomplete.

Cheers,

Wayne
