That's a cool idea.  I'm implementing something right now, I think it 
will work out well.  I don't have time to finish it tonight, but I'll 
describe the basic idea.

I've created a new class called jppResourcePanel.  You construct it by 
passing it a name and it will load the named panel from one of the 
same files you did a jppResourceDialog::LoadResource() on.

Once you have the panel, there's a method that's used to add it to an 
existing dialog, namely to a sizer within the dialog.  It would work 
something like this, minus the pythonish for loop:

jppResourceDialog dialog("myDialog", parentWin);
for x in ["one", "two", "three"] {
  jppResoucePanel panel("myPanel");
  wxLabel *label = (wxLabel *) panel.FindWindowByName("myLabel");
  if(!label) cout << "You crazy!";
  label.SetText(x);
  dialog.AddToSizer("mySizer", panel);
}

I haven't though through the memory management yet, so that may be 
something like panel = new jppResourcePanel("myPanel").  In any case, 
it's nearly as simple.  Does that look good?  Are there improvements 
to be made?

Okay, time for bed.
