	I started on a WxWidgets port for Y some time ago, it is still
available under wxYWin at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ywin-extralib/

	I stopped working on it due to a lack of time, and there was only
limited interest. However, if you are interested in writing patches for
it I'll add them and make new releases. Hopefully the large number of
WxApps might encourage people to develop Y so it is capable of running
them.
