The challenge of integrating autotool scripts into the single codebase
does not bring immediate benefits to the project I believe. So, let's
put it off for now. OTOH, wxWindows implies C++ and an OO Framework,
which means a significant shift from what is there already. Before
dreaming any further, I'd like to assure the feasibility of it
resourcewise and wrt project's future plans.
