Yip. That works. Given that you only shift major version number on a .so
if there are major shifts in API, it is a surprise that it does!
Probably wxWin has the capability to use png's, but configtool doesn't
actually use them.

Why do I feel that "Carter's Fundamental" as described in my .sig is at
work here...
