Hi all.

I'd like to congratulate the wxSqueakers (www.wxsqueak.org) for their 
efforts! I've just had it running under Linux and I wasn't just 
impressed - my jaw was dragging on the ground! There were dozens of 
widgets there, including grids and HTML renderers. Obviously a lot of 
work has gone into it!

Some comments:

- It all feels rather laggy, even though CPU wasn't at 100%. Is that 
because it's still in development and will eventually be optimised?

- The "Ubuntu" tarball required libstdc++.so.5, which I had to 
seperately install to get it going. I also had to copy in 
vm-display-X11.so from elsewhere. But I am surprised that wxWidgets 
didn't need to be installed - is it statically linked?

- Any word on using ToolBuilder?

Otherwise, keep up the good work!

Mikevdg.
