I know I'm being painful asking this .... this being the case, then why bother
invoking su for the wx build to install it in /usr/local ? That is to say, why
don't we just install wx in the user's $HOME instead so that all 3 packages
don't need root_priv at all? I'm only thinking of users who might not like
having to work this out...(I think my mind mumbling 'consistent approach'
or such and similar... <grin>)....I just linked tex2rtf into the wx289/bin path
because I'm pathetically lazy. Shoot me if I'm getting annoying...
