Nicely done! Your diff definitely looks nicer than mine. Will switch to
your diff.
For runtime tests I'm using wxPython, wxglade and nono. Some of the
consumers are currently broken (wxMaxima, p5-Wx) which I'm also looking at
updating to see if we can get them fixed. (and some are marked broken on
other platforms like alpha, hppa, etc.
I don't use most of the other consumers, but will see if I can try to a
quick smoke test for some of those other ports.
Will let you take it from here though. Thanks!
