wxDevCpp new components needed

OK, since I will be using the (almost) excellent wxAUI docking system, as well as the recently released wxAuiToolbar, I need to implement these in wxDevCpp as soon as possible.

At the moment there is a development stop with wxDevCpp since we are aiming for a release soon. After that we might stop developing altogether since we will be recoding the IDE in C++ and using wxWidgets in order to make the IDE and designer cross platform. I also want to extend the makefile support (at the moment only really good for windows systems IMO) in order to create projects for all system compilation (including a project for VS2005/8). The reasoning is this. GCC is the only real solution for cross platform compilation. It is used on all supported platforms. However, on Windows based systems, VS seems to reign supreme. Consequently we probably need to allow our future Linux/Mac users a simple and easy method of getting their project across to the windows audience.

I'll be investigating this later, initially I want to get the designer wxAUI compatible.
