My apologies, I thought I'd sent the reply to the list.

Okay, I'll add those patches. I think I've gotten confused somehow,
because my cygport and files are based on the source package for
python-wx at
http://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/release/python-wx/,
but the cygport in that archive also builds all of the other packages,
and doesn't use the system wxWidgets headers, hence me hacking in the
wxWidgets 3.0.4 files and having to build everything together.

wxPython 3.0.2 itself is shipped with wxWidgets 3.0.2 in the tarball
from wxpython.org, and seems to insist upon building its own copy of
wxwidgets.

Good to hear. I do, I just haven't had the time yet and I figured it'd
be best to get wxPython 3 in really good shape (and get some practice
with packaging!) before sorting that one out.
