  Sorry to get pissy, but it's horribly frustrating when something is 
supposed to be "cross-platform" and you end up having to put in so many 
little exceptions for this that and the other thing. If there are 
platform differences, it SHOULD be handled transparently by the 
relevant libraries, not the end applications. With wxWidgets this is 
simply not the case, and it's infuriating at times.

  Call me stupid, but if the base sizes are defined in a given 
platform's header file, why are they being redefined with arbitrary 
values in bphtml.py? Or is this something else entirely??
