Federico,
I'd be strongly in favour of a shift to wx2.8 and to building with
wxWidgets as DLL at the same time. If we don't do it now, we'll never
do it :-)
We could then drop the custom-sln for wxWidgets, which would be a very
welcome step. We'd use the standard wxWidgets supplied one and our own
config (to get accessibility).
Installers would need modifying to install the wxWidgets DLLs. I'm not
sure much else would need to change?
