Probably I should automate this process soon. Preserving copies
of actual shell sessions will facilitate that....

Here's how I made the changes described in the 20080306T0319Z
'ChangeLog' entry. I ignored wx-2.8.6 because we're already
using wx-2.8.7 in production. I've inserted blank lines for
readability, due to the archive's habit of wrapping long lines.

diff --recursive --unified=3 original modified >wx-2.8.7.patch

patch --strip=1 --dry-run --directory=original <wx-2.8.7.patch

[end literal commands]

Then copy the new 'wx-2.8.7.patch' to the lmi source directory,
and run 'make -f install_wx.make' there.

Here are mailing-list references for each patch:
