          <p>
	    The wx application now compiles and is usable with the
	    unstable development branch of wxWidgets-2.9. Some
	    functions are currently not available in wxWidgets-2.9
	    and their erlang counterparts are marked as deprecated.
	    They will generate an error if called when linked against
	    wxWidgets-2.9 libraries. This means that wx can now be
	    built on 64bit MacOsX, but keep in mind that
	    wxWidgets-2.9 is still a development branch and needs (a
	    lot) more work before it becomes stable.</p>
