wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
The old methods were very clunky and not recommended (and didn't
properly cast the function types). This changes to useing the
recommended way of declaring events and casting the event handlers.
This allows us to make the various netlist and pcb update routines
more atomic and less reliant on carefully sequenced asynchronous
messages.
This is also a prelude to adding support for footprint testing
without a netlist.
*) void KIWAY::ExpressMail( FRAME_T aDestination, MAIL_T aCommand, const std::string& aPayload, wxWindow* aSource=NULL );
*) virtual void KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& aEvent );
*) enum MAIL_T expansion into the brave new world if cross KIWAY_PLAYER communications.
Let the KIWAY_PLAYING begin.....
through well conceived mail from one KIWAY_PLAYER to another.
Get thinking now. Add a new MAIL_T value, then send ExpressMail(),
and receive it in KiwayMailIn(), it's that easy.
