Are you bundling the 'official' wxpython binaries?

I wonder if there is some confusion when the GUI is run, that it's  
loading a different wxpython?  That's another reason I started  
bundling it.  The GRASS python path will always be before any others,  
so there will be no mistake.

The site-packages python path will have whichever wx path that was  
loaded last at the top of the path list, which may or may not be the  
one you want. (if there are multiple wxpythons installed, and assuming  
that they were installed such that earlier installations aren't  
trashed by later installations, which is what the official installers  
do)

Yes.

The equator is so long, it could encircle the earth completely once.
