Belated thanks for this update!

I took (another) look at updating poedit wich uses wxWidgets (and needs 
rebuilding or removing as it's the only thing holding an ancient version 
of boost in the distro).

I thought I'd try with wxWidgets 3.1, to see if that helps with other 
problems.

First off, configure fails.  This seems to be due to:

> $ wx-config-3.1 --cflags
> -I/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk3-unicode-3.1 -I/usr/local/include/wx-3.1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DWXUSINGDLL -D__WXGTK__

I'm not sure how 'local' got in there, but I don't think that's right!

Secondly, wxUSE_FSWATCHER doesn't seem to get defined.

Not sure if that's expected? Using the windows backend for filewatching 
probably requires some extra work with file conversions, but the generic 
polling backend should be usable?

Then I run into some wchar_t/wxstring conversion issues which I'm not 
sure should be happening in a unicode build, but seem fixable...

(You can see where I got to at 
https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/poedit/tree/?h=playground, if 
you're interested)

  I think Takashi finally managed to squash the bug underlying hang 
problems with doxygen, so hopefully this now works!
