I haven't checked to see if this was already done correctly, but just  
as a reminder:

On Mac OS X, certain menu items go in "special" menus: Preferences,  
Exit (Quit), and About Audacity.  wx is actually smart enough to move  
those to the special menus automatically - however, if you're not  
careful you will end up with double-separators.  So you should see  
something like this - I know this is just pseudocode, but just to  
give you an idea:

   editMenu->Add("Something");
   editMenu->AddSeparator();

   editMenu->Add("Preferences"); // Automatically gets moved to a  
different menu in Mac OS X
   #ifndef __MACOSX__
   editMenu->AddSeparator(); // Only add separator if we're not Mac OS X
   #endif
