I answered about the stuff I tried. Ok, I forgot win32all,
it works fine, too.

No, wxPython doesn't need to get recompiled, but mouse events
are dead when the stack is moved away, so you have to create
extra objects before handling the event in a different tasklet.

Yes it does. At the moment, threads are just ignored, and each
has its independent list of tasklets. This si going to change, since
I will write channels for inter-thread communication, and tasklets
which are nomading across threads.
