I'm afraid 0.1.0 is very old and appears not to work with recent versions 
of wxWidgets due to API changes. You might be able to make it works with 
wxMSW 2.4.x.

I'd be very happy if you could download and test the latest code in 
the Subversion repository, but otherwise I'd recommend that you stick to 
the precompiled release.

Please be aware that this is very very alpha software and I make no 
warranty about its stability, abilities, etc.

Cheers, Chris.
