Why didn't I try googling for this problem before? I immediately found
this very interesting page:

http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/Mac_OS_X_And_Xcode_For_Beginners

I tried to follow directions in section "Dynamic Library Install
Directory", and it seems to work! That solution is nice because you
don't link statically (therefore, the executable is just some hundreds
kb) and the wx dynamic lib is hidden inside the application package
(ShapeFusion.app/Contents/Frameworks). It changes a little from the
downloader point of view, but it's a _nice_ solution IMO (and it's easy
to compile for anyone, if we set up the project correctly---one just
needs to compile wx and then change WX_SRC_PATH in our project).

Ouch.

I can confirm this.

I can confirm this too, but just since I upgraded to 2.8.6. Before all
was nice and on linux with 2.8.1 it's nice too. I'll also take a look at
it, I suspect some major change in wx sizers... Damn...
