wxAUI. One of the most common complaints I hear about pgAdmin is that it's an unattractive, old fashioned interface -
especiallywhen compared to some of the commercial products out there (which admittedly are mainly not cross platform).
wxAUIallows us to update that look'n'feel with a modern docking UI. The standalone version of wxAUI (ie. Pre 2.7) works
witha number of patches and hacks both to get it to compile and to get it usable. The version bundled with wx2.7 works
outof the box for us. 

Regards, Dave.
