Martin,

I agree with this plan. BUT this makes it more imperative than ever to  
get vdigit to compile and run correctly on platforms other than Linux.

Currently, it compiles against the system version of Python rather  
than the newer default one that I have, so I have to disable it or the  
wxPython GUI won't even run. I've never been able to test it on a Mac.  
I don't know what its status is on Windows. I realize that such cross- 
platform issues are sometimes very tricky and hope that you can  
continue to get some help on this.
