  Yes, but sub {} != undef... [1]

  I don't know (really). The plan for 0.13 is to "just" change the build
system to be able to build external XS modules (Wx::ActiveX, ATM,
more will probably follow later). Given that my hacking time is now 
limited (university started again...), I will see what I can do.
I think wxMemoryFSH and wxWave can go in (they are small classes),
though.
