Re: Suggested patches for Boa to work with wxPython 2.9

I've now successfully run BOA and gotten work done.  Thank you,
Werner!

Any hints or prophecies about when Riaan may appear among us again?
The only reason I ask is because there seems to be a lot of added
functionality in wx 2.9.  New properties for the CalendarCtrl is the
most obvious one (only because I had to use it...).

While these patches keep us bleeding-edge testers continuing to do our
work, I think some TLC from the head developer might be in order.

And BTW, thank you Riaan...wherever you may be...for giving us this
great tool.

Chris.
