That sounds like it's probably equivalent functionality. But SRC is only
used to build the depends file, and I'm not happy with the way that's
happening right now anyway. So it shouldn't affect the actual library
build, regardless.

The WxApp class (like all the WxYxx classes) does not inherit from
wxApp. So WxApp::ExitMainLoop gets called when ruby code invokes
Wx::App#exit_main_loop. Since it's called from ruby, it needs to return
a VALUE.

Did you see a compile problem here? Or did you just notice that it
looked incorrect?
