Hrm... I wonder then if the intltool stuff is the "wrong" way do do it 
in configure and if there's some wx thing to use instead.  I have no 
auto-fu and don't know M4, so I'm going to just ignore this and hope it 
goes away.  :-)

Ah, ok... the embedded resources appear to be working then.

Oh!  Bless you for bringing that small bit of sanity to the configure 
universe.  I've always seen configure guess at what you want based on 
what's installed and how the developer was feeling that day.  Didn't 
even think to look for anything different.

Looks much better now... especially since it's not deleting files 
anymore.  :-)
