Ahh, thank you. Somehow I did miss it. :-(

OK.

OK; but do you consider it would be better not to depend on wx.NET?

Right. My main concern is just whether it is more feasible to provide
wxD directly using SWIG'S D capability.

I believe that those things should be taken care of by e.g. cmake.

Yes. WxPython will also use info from Doxygen.

So, is wxD going to continue like now, or do you envision some change
how to proceed for wx-2.9/3.=?
