GetSystemMetrics with const

[Manolo]

Hi
Can we change
 wxSystemSettingsNative::GetMetric(wxSystemMetric index, wxWindow * win = NULL)
to
GetMetric(wxSystemMetric index, const wxWindow * win = NULL)

or do I call directly ::GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXVSCROLL)
to avoid 'constness' in a const func?

TIA
Manolo

I think it should be possible, yes. But all the ports would need to be
updated.

No, it's really not a good idea to redo what this class already does. In
the worst case just use const_cast<>.
