This is true, but someone (Stefan Csomor) has really worked on it hard during
the last few months only. We all hope that we will have a "real" wxMac version
soon now.

Oops, it's just an oversight. I will ask Julian to update it a.s.a.p.

The sad truth is that macs are not very common nowadays. I would like to help
develop wxMac, but I don't have one (nor at home nor anywhere near me in the
office), so I really can't. If there were more people working on wxMac it
would surely advance more quickly...
