+    - After much gnashing of teeth, head scratching, and other 
+      assorted things, I finally can build the cross platform GUI again.
+
+      The default project builds for the wxWidgets static library, MSVCRT 
+      static library, and STL static library really don’t like each other. 
+      It took a few days to get things to a point they would compile, and we 
+      still throw a few warnings on the release build.
