It's exactly the number of things you can do with the command line
client. Anyway, I find WinCVS's usability level satisfactory: I want to
tag a working copy I click on tag, I can easily see the history tree
(including branches) for a file, I can query an update, I can select 2
revisions in this tree and diff them etc. Yes, there are some problems,
but I think it is easy to use.

I don't know about custom controls in wxwindows. You should post the
question on wx-users@lists.wxwindows.org to get more accurate
information. Anyway, you should make some compromises if you want the
application to be portable. I used wxwindows (and also subversion) only
on windows, where I know they are using SDK as the core implementation
and on platforms where some controls are missing they emulate them.
