Yes, they're all there.

There probably are a few things missing now, but more importantly there is
surely some work needed to make it compile. As the wxrichtext_richtext.i
file says, it is mostly copied from the wxWidgets headers, but typically I
have to massage the function signatures to simplify them for the binding
generator.

Start from the existing one, note that most of it is remmed out /* ... */
and try to add bits at a time until it works. See the Makefile or
genwxbind.bat files to see how to regenerate the bindings.

I don't remember anymore, but I probably didn't finish it since I've never
used that control myself and don't know what parts are important and what
can be skipped.
