Re: wxgtk 3.3, wxpdfdoc, deskutils/treesheets: Unmaintained FreeBSD ports which are out of date

Hello Nuno,

I have a local working version of wxgtk33 (derived from wxgtk32) which I'm
using to aid in my updating and fixing of my OrcaSlicer port.

Would you like me to attach my work to your PR?

Best regards
Kenneth
