Sounds good!
So you're probably moving wx into the pgadmin3 directory, side by side
to the now existing src, include and build? This would enable a common
make run for all of pgadmin. This wouldn't only help for Debian, but for
all other *nix makes also. I like that idea.
People encountering any problem in pgAdmin3 will ask us for support
anyway, and we'll have to trace it down to wx or even gtk, whether we're
using an official wx distri or our own.
