Yup, found that just now - I had only looked at the wxWidgets
migration guide, didn't know there was a wxPython version too!

Anyway, I don't need the platform check now as also in the wxPy25
guide they say that we're now to use
wx.SystemSettings_GetMetric(wx.SYS_VSCROLL_X) across all platforms as
they're deprecating the other forms - which seem to be aliases for
backwards compatibility.

Thanks for the help :-)
