Strange that FreeBSD haven't got their act together about DESTDIR/prefix
but wxD uses the GNU packaging standard and will install to $(DESTDIR).

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html

It also happens to work out of the box with RPM, which is what I use...
(well, "will use eventually" as you saw with the directory typo :-) )

That's up to the wxWidgets library, but wxD should work with both...

As I understand wx, "ANSI" means UTF-8 but "Unicode" means UTF-16/32
(default is currently "ANSI" for Win/Mac, but "Unicode" for Linux ?)
