yes: when I said it doesn't work I meant that putting wxLUA_USE_FL to 1 
yields to linking errors...

wxAUI is pretty good and there are also wxIFM and wxDockIt.

ok, sure. Just a tip: you can cvs remove -f the files directly instead 
of just empting them.
Then I'll just update bakefiles and run bakefile_gen...
