REQUIREMENTS:
	At least Erlang-R13B with smp enabled. It Requires unicode support.

        Linux, Mac, Solaris-10 or Windows.
	
	On linux you will need wxWidgets-2.8 compiled with everything
	enabled, including unicode and opengl support.

	And I have given up on Solaris-8|9, wxWidgets on my old gtk version
	doesn't run well, 7 of 10 wxWidgets examples seg fault.
	Some early tests show that Solaris 10 works, though.
	
BUILDING:
	You will need wxWidgets-2.8.* 

        On mac (snow leopard) I built wxwidgets with:

        mkdir MYBUILD; cd MYBUILD
	../configure --with-opengl --enable-unicode --enable-graphics_ctx \ 
                --enable-gnomeprint \    On unix only
                --disable-shared
	make && make install
        cd contrib/src/stc/
	make && make install

	Or grab them prebuilt from macports.

	On linux I have used the wxwidgets-libraries that came with
	the distribution. It requires wxStyledTextControl which was 
	prebuilt on my linux, otherwise you have to build wxWidgets
	by your self as on the mac above.

	On windows I used MinGW and Msys, I build wxwidgets with:

	mkdir MYBUILD; cd MYBUILD
	../configure --prefix=/c/local/ --with-opengl  --enable-graphics_ctx \ 
                     --enable-unicode --disable-shared --with-msw
	make && make install	
        cd contrib/src/stc/
	make && make install

        You should also build wxerlang with msys and mingw since 
	I havn't tested on cygwin at all.
        You need to use werl on windows, erl (non-gui) hangs wxwidgets startup.
