Great.

This was a bug in wxWidgets CVS HEAD a few weeks ago. They had
duplicate #include guards for two different files. IIRC it was
html/helpwnd.h and msw/helpwin.h, it's fixed now.

This error?

I don't get it in linux w/ gcc, but I do get it in MSW with VC Express
2005. It has to do with the linker throwing out all of the wxbindstc
lib since it's "not used" directly, but through a wxModule. I think
the cleanest way to do this is to make people run C functions to
initialize each of the binding modules they link to. Similiar to
wxWidgets' WXINIT_ALL_IMAGE_HANDLERS (or whatever it's called). I'll
change this ASAP, but probably tonight.
