Yes, from everything I've seen (not a whole lot), everything in linux should
be cdecl, so that should be pretty simple.  I've started separating out code
that's windows specific, so that a user would simply include wxWin.e or
wxLinux.e.  There may also be certain classes that will be OS specific, but
we'll just have to wait and see.  Rather than using call_thiscall directly,
I've put call_member() in wxWin.e which calls call_thiscall().  In
wxLinux.e, it would be call_cdecl().

It seemed like wxWindows might have been crashing when it's internal message
loop was called, so I tried to do it myself.

I don't think Linux uses the concept of ordinals.  We'll just have to figure
out what the undecorated names are.  I also created a file, wxDefsMsw.e,
where I've wrapped the ordinals into constants, so they'll be easier to
import as needed.  I expect we'd take the output of 'nm' and do the same.
