Here I'm again!

Being both wx & Ruby newbie I had to play with wxruby Win build a little bit
longer than expected :-)

Here is the report:

a) after fetching latest CVS code and trying to build it under Linux there are 
few 
glitches ie. cyclic references:
        1) button.cpp depends on control.h & window.h
        2) textctrl.cpp  ---> textattr.h &
        3) window.cpp    ---> caret.h

The solution is to just run: wxpp.rb on those required *.t files.

b) after having all kinds of different problems on Win98 platform (which is 
tested 
under Win4Lin) with compiler & linking, here is the resolution:
        1) in order to be able to link properly I had to add wxmsw241 library in
        the list of linking libraries, so now the diff for extconf.rb looks 
like:

It is a little bit more Linux-like :-)

I tried minimal & controls sample and they worked without any warning, so now I 
can 
proceed to explore more pearls in the wxruby ocean :-)

(I'm running Mingw with gcc 3.2 & latest MSYS 1.09.)


Hope it helps.

Sincerely,
Gour
