At least for the next release or two.  We do want to sync up with the 
latest wxPython releases, but the current wxPython that BitPim uses 
is "good enough" for the immediate future.

That seems to be the best/safest approach.

One option is to stay with Python 2.3, and either ask Robin to do a 
Windows 2.3 Unicode binary version of wxPython 2.8+, or compile it 
ourselves (I will attempt to do just that).  Otherwise, someone would 
need to donate a copy of VC2003 to Roger to do the build.
